NAME Protect-Unwind - Safe cleanup blocks, Common Lisp style SYNOPSIS use Protect::Unwind; protect { goto ESCAPE; } unwind { print "This is printed no matter what happens in protect."; }; ESCAPE: DESCRIPTION This module is just syntactic sugar around Guard. It implements an interface like Common Lisp's . It only exists so that hopefully lisp programmers new to perl will find this module before they find the buggy Unwind::Protect. Note that if your unwind forms throw exceptions the behaviour is somewhat complicated (see the Guard docs). SEE ALSO Guard is a correct and efficient perl "unwind-protect" implementation which is why this module uses it. AUTHOR Doug Hoyte, "" COPYRIGHT & LICENSE Copyright 2012 Doug Hoyte.
