in thread why did i die?

That's not a generic solution. The code I run in the eval can be everything Perl has to offer... for instance runtime requiring any module on CPAN.

    Another option I see¹ is to inspect the source-code.

    Every internal error-msg comes with parsable file and line infos. You could try to match for "die" there.

    Saying this I have to tell you that file and line infos can be manipulated.

    OTOH combining all shown approaches should make it rather difficult to fool your monitoring solution.

    So what?

    You have to realize that you won't be able to find a pure Perl solution which can't be sabotaged by evaled pure Perl.
