Re^6: bad die behaviour?

No I don't have any signal handler defined. I also tried to print the whole %SIG hash just before the die, to see if any module had set any signal handler that I wasn't aware of, and the only signal handler active was the floating point exception handler.
thanks

You might want to consider using $SIG{__DIE__} instead of the FatalError subroutine. Put what you are doing in the FatalError into the subroutine for the DIE signal handler, evaluate $? (instead of $!) before die'ing. Something like: `$SIG{__DIE__}=sub{ print STDERR "I'm Dyin!: \n"; }; some_command; $error_code=$?>>8; print "Finished running some_command"; die if $error_code > 0;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
