NAME Resource::Dispose - Syntax sugar for dispose pattern SYNOPSIS use Resource::Dispose; { resource my $obj = Some::Class->new; } # $obj->DISPOSE is called even if $obj can not be freed and destroyed DESCRIPTION The dispose pattern is a design pattern which is used to handle resource cleanup in runtime environment that use automatic garbage collection. In Perl there is possibility that the object will be destructed during global destruction and it leads to memory leaking and other drawbacks like unclosed file handles, etc. This module provides new keyword `resource' as a syntax sugar for dispose pattern. The `DISPOSE' method of the resource object is called if the resource is going out of scope. SEE ALSO This `resource' keyword is inspired by `using' keyword from C# language and extended `try' keyword from Java 7 language. Guard, Scope::Guard, Devel::Declare.
