Subject: An Object Going Out Of Scope

A quick question.  How can one discern when an object goes out of scope?
I'd like to do something like this:

create a function, which will get stuff from a database.
allow a set function to set to an instance hash.
When the object is going out of scope, save all that stuff to the database.

is that an END {} block?  I don't see DESTROY {} blocks in Ruby, and I don't
want objects to live on until the process with it closes in mod_ruby, so
what do I use under those conditions?
