in thread Difference Between use warnings and use warnings FATAL => 'all'

At the risk of being a little pedantic LanX, your assertion isn't quite correct in this context - fatal => all actually means that all warnings (c/w errors as you claim) result in a script die'ing.

    Well I was aware of that, but since I identified only two categories of error-exceptions (signals), "dieing" and "warning", I was sure that my assertion was right. (all of them die after fatal-all)

    Now at second thought I remember all these special variables (e.g. $!, $@, $^E, $? ...) holding silent external error messages needed to be actively read and processed.

    (like in open ... or die "Terminating because $!";)

    Here you are of course right, those "errors" do not die.

    Corrected, thanks. :)
