Yes,it's my $s will leave { destroy $s } = new CoolClass; and then it only destroyes if $s has been initialized. Also handy are transactional versions that work on success or failure of the block: my $s will keep { destroy $s } = new CoolClass; my $s will undo { destroy $s } = new CoolClass; There is no requirement for timely destruction in Perl 6.
