package MyApp::Container;
use base qw(Pickles::Container);
# somewhere else in your code
my $c = MyApp::Container->new();
# a persistent object (lasts during this process)
my $object = Foo->new();
$c->register( foo => $object );
# a per-instance object (lasts only during an instance of

    # $guard goes out of scope
}
{
    my $guard = $c->new_scope;
    my $foo = $c->get('foo'); # Same as previous $foo
    my $bar = $c->get('bar'); # DIFFERENT from previous $bar
    my $baz = $c->get('baz'); # Same as previous $baz
}
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Pickles::Container is a simple container object like Object::Container.

The main difference is that it has per-process lifecycle and per-instance lifecycle objects.
