File::Temp currently opens temporary files with O_RDWR. This makes it impossible to use it with PerlIO::gzip (i.e. set binmode gzip) because the latter only works with read-only or write-only file descriptors. Therefore it would be very useful to have an option to set write-only mode. I don't think that read-only would make much sense because then you could only read from an empty file.
