# Aspect::Guard(3pm)

General purpose guard object for destroy-time actions

## NAME

Aspect::Guard - General purpose guard object for destroy-time actions

## SYNOPSIS

```
  SCOPE: {

      my $guard = Aspect::Guard->new( sub {
          print "Goodbye World!\n";
      } );

  }
  # Prints here as it exits the scope
```

## DESCRIPTION

The **Aspect::Guard** class shipping with Aspect is a convenience module for creating `"CODE"` based objects that execute when they fall out of scope.

It's usage is effectively summarised by the synopsis.

## METHODS

### new

```
  my $guard = Aspect::Guard->new( sub { do_something(); } );
```

The `"new"` method creates a new guard object. It takes a single `"CODE"` references as a parameter, which it will bless into the guard class, which will execute the code reference when it's `"DESTROY"` hook is called.
