=head1 NAME
Scope::Guard - lexically-scoped resource management
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $guard = guard { ... };
# or
my $guard = scope_guard \&handler;
# or
my $guard = Scope::Guard->new(sub { ... });
$guard->dismiss(); # disable the handler
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a convenient way to perform cleanup or other forms of resource
management at the end of a scope. It is particularly useful when dealing with exceptions:
the C<Scope::Guard> constructor takes a reference to a subroutine that is guaranteed to
be called even if the thread of execution is aborted prematurely. This effectively allows
lexically-scoped "promises" to be made that are automatically honoured by perl's garbage
collector.
For more information, see: L<http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/184403758>
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
my $guard = Scope::Guard->new(sub { ... });
# or
my $guard = Scope::Guard->new(\&handler);
The C<new> method creates a new C<Scope::Guard> object which calls the supplied handler when its C<DESTROY> method is
called, typically at the end of the scope.
=head2 dismiss
$guard->dismiss();
# or
$guard->dismiss(1);
C<dismiss> detaches the handler from the C<Scope::Guard> object. This revokes the "promise" to call the
handler when the object is destroyed.
The handler can be re-enabled by calling:
$guard->dismiss(0);
=head1 EXPORTS
=head2 guard
C<guard> takes a block and returns a new C<Scope::Guard> object. It can be used
as a shorthand for:
Scope::Guard->new(...)
e.g.
my $guard = guard { ... };
Note: calling C<guard> anonymously, i.e. in void context, will raise an exception.
This is because anonymous guards are destroyed B<immediately>
(rather than at the end of the scope), which is unlikely to be the desired behaviour.
=head2 scope_guard
C<scope_guard> is the same as C<guard>, but it takes a code ref rather than a block.
e.g.
my $guard = scope_guard \&handler;
or:
my $guard = scope_guard sub { ... };
or:
my $guard = scope_guard $handler;
As with C<guard>, calling C<scope_guard> in void context will raise an exception.
