The best way I know to get at the Temporary Items folder is to use the button
in the BBEdit toolbar which reveals the currently-being-edited document in the
finder.

It does appear to be MacPerl which is creating those files, because I see them
using BBEdit and brad's plug-ins.  Duplicates will crop up when you try to
edit a file named foo and there's already a file named foo inside Temporary
Items.

If MacPerl and your editing application get out of sync, which can happen when
one crashes or gets confused, those in-between files in the TI folder can
accumulate, but as you notice, when you restart they will be moved to the
trash.
