in reply to Overloading '{}' or 'sub'

See Scope::Guard, which is designed to do exactly that, you create it with a subroutine to run when it goes out of scope...

use strict; use warnings;
use Scope::Guard;
sub foo {
    my $blah = shift;
    my $sg = Scope::Guard->new( sub {
        print "This runs at the end of the scope\n";
    } );
    print "Doing some other stuff now...\n";
}

    Wasn't operator overloading designed by Satan for evil C++ programmers to torture each other in the hell that they have created for themselves. Or something?
