One other curiosum:  As a result of my Phalanx work, I've gotten in the
habit of using File::Temp to create 'anonymous' directories and files in

This is one of the many features of Test::Cmd, which I a was about to
recommend. However, I remember being discouraged from using it, but
I'm not sure from where or whom.

Does anyone use Test::Cmd? Are there features in it that you like? Is
it overcomplicated? Should it be updated to use Test::Builder? Do
these pants make my butt look big?

I use it daily (well, tests that I've written using it get run daily, which is almost the same thing). I quite like it, it certainly let me get the job done.

Looking through it now I think it might benefit from being pared down a little. The match* and diff* methods could probably be removed in favour of functionality in Test::More or Test::Diff, and merging in the functionality from Test::Expect would probably be useful.
