My test script does not really do much, it just reads the png into 
memory but does not do anything with it. The point being just reading it 
into memory, which you would expect to be a read-only procedure, appears 
to somehow lock the file and stop it subsequently being deleted.
To test the script on your new versions of perl and GD just change the 
'my $File = ' line to point to a test .png file and run it. If the test 
.png gets deleted then the problem is resolved, if it does not then the 
problem still exists.
