die

               You can arrange for a callback to be run just before th
+e "die"
               does its deed, by setting the $SIG{__DIE__} hook.  The
               associated handler will be called with the error text a
+nd can
               change the error message, if it sees fit, by calling "d
+ie"
               again.  See "$SIG{expr}" in perlvar for details on sett
+ing %SIG
               entries, and "eval BLOCK" for some examples.  Although 
+this
               feature was to be run only right before your program wa
+s to
               exit, this is not currently the case--the $SIG{__DIE__}
+ hook is
               currently called even inside eval()ed blocks/strings!
