Subject: temporary dirs/files marked read only are not unlinked
This is a Windows XP issue Files created in %TEMP% (aka "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp" ) get marked as Read Only automatically by windows. This makes unlink fail with permission denied. In some versions of perl unlink used to silently call chmod before each unlink, but I guess that behaviour changed in 5.8.3
Should be fixed in version 0.15. Sorry for the delay and thanks for the reports.
