You have to know that Auto-pointers are class objects, not scalar
pointers. They might look like pointers while using them, but they
aren't. If you want to declare a function which takes an auto_pointer,
then declare the function's arguments as auto_ptr<T> object, where "T"
is some specific type or a template type.

Did you realize that "temp" in main is a pointer, and MyMethod is
expecting a reference ? Besides, what does "temp" has to do with
Auto-pointers, isn't it just a regular pointer !!
