That method was added in File::Temp 0.19, which was added in 2007.  Does

  my $tmpdir = File::Temp::tempdir(CLEANUP => 1);

do the right thing on your Perl 5.10?  I no longer use CentOS 6 at work
and it won't run in Docker on modern Debian, so I can't test.  If so,
I'll send a patch.

For the record, I plan to propose that we drop support for Perl versions
earlier than 5.14 on December 2, since CentOS 6 will be dead at that
point.  I think a ten-year lifespan for an OS is quite generous and
we're still considering Perl 5.8.8, which nobody is publicly supporting
anymore.
