There's no need to die within $SIG{__DIE__}. Log at whatever level you wish (error, fatal, whatever), and let perl die properly. It's already going to anyway.

How to fix your other problems that using $SIG{__DIE__} causes is another story entirely. I can't really see a way around it, as its working as intended. When you start noodling with that kind of stuff, where you selectively say "Oh, I didn't meant to actually die" I see this as a road to insanity. You're going to have to insert all of the logging statements anyway, unless your existing logging already kind of conforms to how Log::Log4perl does.

That said, the $^S may be a "temporary" (haha) solution until you can get the code base to conform to something a bit more sane, along with not using logdie in $SIG{__DIE__}.
