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. :)
