Something in your program is keeping them open until your program closes
the filehandles on exit. Unlink can't remove a file that's open, only
make a note for later. Restricting the scope of the temp file handles
would probably be the cleanest way.

$TmpFile ~~ s| $( Q[.] ) .* ||;
($TmpFile, $TmpHandle) = tempfile(:tempdir("."), $TmpFile ~ "_******"

...
($TmpFile, $TmpHandle) = tempfile(:tempdir("."), :!unlink);
It seems that all my tmp files are being removed
when my program exits normally. It was crashing
until I fix a problem.
But why wait till the program exits when I tell
it to unlink before that?
