Argh... I never edit this way, but then, "never say never", I
always say... so I decided to fix my "Suffix Mappings..." in
Alpha - just in case. Well, I started out just verifying that
Alpha was duped by the " [Perl]" suffix... it was. So I adjusted
my mappings and tried again... Next, my window popped up with
" [Perl] #2" extension. "Darn... I guess I have to quit MacPerl
or Alpha, first", I think to myself... So I do this and try again.
This time the window is named with a " [perl] #3" extension...
"What's up with this?", I ask myself. Then I find that all three
files I tried to edit are in an invisible directory called
"temporary items" at my root directory. I can't make the directory
visible for some reason. None of my usual tools can see it, but
Find File can and I can't delete the files... I assume they will go
away once I reboot... but I never reboot!!! "Never say never", I
always say...

Is it MacPerl that is creating these temporary files? Is there
some (more elegant) method of purging them? Any advice for me,
in case I ever do this thing that I never do, again?

Patient-  "Doctor! Doctor! It hurts when I do this."
Doctor-   "Don't do that!"
