File::Temp is included in perl 5.6.1, which is required. So yes, it is 
safe to assume the existence of File::Temp and to get rid of workaround 
code.

I only wrapped tempdir in Bio::Root::Test just for the sake of method 
name consistency (there is already a test_output_file() method) and 
ease-of-use.
