It's ok, maybe I should pay more attention to this mailing list :)
Another suggestion (quick and dirty, I thought) is to remove IGNORE,
and add a *symbolic link* from core to site_perl directory.
If there is any new p5-File-Temp (on CPAN) in the future, we can just
remove that symbolic link without any damage?
(accomplished by pkg-plist?)
How about that?

This should be my favorite :)
