=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This module provides an utility routine that can be used to temporarily change the value of a variable, until the end of the current scope is reached where the original value of the variable is restored.
+This module provides an utility routine that can be used to temporarily change the value of a scalar, array or hash variable, until the end of the current scope is reached where the original value of the variable is restored.
It is similar to C<local>, except that it can be applied onto lexicals as well as globals, and that it replaces values by copying the new value into the container variable instead of by aliasing.

temp $var;
temp $var = $value;
-Temporarily replace the value of the lexical or global variable C<$var> by C<$value>, or by C<undef> if C<$value> is omitted, until the end of the current scope.
-Any subsequent assignments to C<$var> in the current (or any inferior) scope will not affect the original value which will be restored into the variable at scope end.

+ temp @var = \@value;
+
+ temp %var;
+ temp %var = \%value;
+
+Temporarily replaces the value of the lexical or global variable C<$var> by C<$value> (respectively C<@var> by C<@value>, C<%var> by C<%value>), or by C<undef> if C<$value> is omitted (respectively empties C<@var> and C<%var> if the second argument is omitted), until the end of the current scope.
+Any subsequent assignments to this variable in the current (or any inferior) scope will not affect the original value which will be restored into the variable at scope end.
Several C<temp> calls can be made onto the same variable, and the restore are processed in reverse order.
-Note that destructors associated with C<$var> will B<not> be called when C<temp> sets the temporary value, but only at the natural end of life of the variable (i.e. at the end of the scope).
-They will trigger after any destructor associated with the replacement C<$value>.
+Note that destructors associated with the variable will B<not> be called when C<temp> sets the temporary value, but only at the natural end of life of the variable.
+They will trigger after any destructor associated with the replacement value.
Due to a shortcoming in the handling of the C<\$> prototype, which was addressed in C<perl> 5.14, the pseudo-statement C<temp $var = $value> will cause compilation errors on C<perl> 5.12.x and below.
If you want your code to run on these versions of C<perl>, you are encouraged to use L</set_temp> instead.
