Re: Re: possible CVE requests: perltidy insecure temporary file usage

This question might be relatively unimportant because O_EXCL|O_CREAT
was only used in the IO::File->new call for choosing a filename.
O_EXCL|O_CREAT wasn't used in IO::File->new call that came immediately
after the make_temporary_filename call. This, for example, doesn't
cover the case of a mode 0777 current working directory.

Thanks for explaining this, I had misunderstood that part.
