Take alluminum foil and put it over the pipe, or you can also use duck tape.
Another (far more accurate) answer:That depends on the function of the pipe.If it's carrying pressurized water or sewer water, don't patch it, replace it. Use appropriate fittings to splice in new pipe after carefully cutting out the old, damaged section of pipe.
There are special fittings for splicing into a section of pipe that has to be cut away, but if you have any questions or concerns about properly splicing a pipe, contact a qualified plumber or handyman.
For other pipe applications (some people use pipe to build frames) you can use whatever you want when patching plastic pipe.
Note that for some applications, specifically sprinkler pipe, there are patch segments available to repair sections of pipe that have burst from freezing.
