I like the idea of making tempdir mandatory.  It conveniently both shows us if
any consuming code would have the security issue and pushes responsibility for
that bit of security elsewhere.  Let me whip something up.

I believe the maintainers of the packages which depend on Parallel::ForkManager
are CC'd on this ticket already; could either of you check to see if your
packages would have issues with this or if they even use the problematic
feature?
