$! with and without \n

Wow, particle, really??

That is quite strange. Not that perl hasn't had other strange quirks, mind you... Do you have a pointer to more details?

I'm curious about this one, it sounds like a problem that could be hard to diagnose if you don't know about it.

Supersearch won't help, since $! and \n are both unfortunately shorter than 4 characters...

lo, i have searched the deep recesses of my mind, and have found... nothing. neither Super Search nor Google have aided me. luckily, Fletch has come to my rescue! his response (below) is right-on. die behaves differently, not $! ~Particle ;Þ	[reply]
