The following code might have been autogenerated. It's not even really confusing and it works exactly as advertised:

use Guard;
use File::Temp 'tempfile';

sub frobnicate {

    my ($fh,$name) = tempfile();
    print {$fh} "Hello";
    close $fh;
    my $atexit = guard {
        print "Removing '$name'";
        unlink $name;
    };

    my ($fh,$name) = tempfile();
    print {$fh} "World";
    close $fh;
    my $atexit = guard {
        print "Removing '$name'";
        unlink $name;
    };
}

print "Frobnicating";
frobnicate();
print "Frobnicating done, and cleaned up";

__END__
Frobnicating
Removing 'C:\Users\Corion\AppData\Local\Temp\JPUN_wEVOo'
Removing 'C:\Users\Corion\AppData\Local\Temp\eUuaGV_5sj'
Frobnicating done, and cleaned up

Of course, there is no way to get at the first instances of $fh, $name and $atexit.

And if I were autogenerating that code, why would I bother with naming the variables $name1, $name2 etc. when they are just for later customization anyway?

> if I were autogenerating that code ...

Or not using my at all or even better putting each snippet into a block.
