in thread Perl losing, unfairly

As far as the exit stuff goes, I realized that it could be written better as:

Except that will exit regardless, which I dont think is the objective. I prefer

-e "/etc/mtab" or die;

    That's kind of the bigger problem, the author doesn't list the objectives very clearly.

    The assumption that I got from reading the rest of the examples is that the intention is to always exit. Some of the other scripts use that approach.
