abs 7170e63368 Added devel/p5-Scope-Guard version 0.03
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 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.
