DESCRIPTION

24       This module provide an object interface to tempdir() from File::Temp.
25       This allow to destroy the temporary directory as soon you don't need it
26       anymore using the magic DESTROY() function automatically call be perl
27       when the object is no longer reference.
28
29       If a value is passed to at object creation, it become only a container
30       allowing to keep same code in your function.
31
