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 <unwind-protect>.
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.
