Because diagnostics is (secretly) used by you!

d:\tmp>perl -MCarp -Mdiagnostics -e"croak 'bla'"
Uncaught exception from user code:
        bla at -e line 1.

d:\tmp>

see also this SO discussion which I found by simply googling for you...

update

> How do I tell perl not to print this text?

either don't use diagnostics at all ...

... or disable diagnostics before dieing

d:\tmp>perl -Mdiagnostics -e"disable diagnostics; die 'bla'"
bla at -e line 1.

d:\tmp>
