I Must have some crazy silly mistake in my code or my understanding. I don't quite get my expected output from the following very short script.

### die.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { print "In die: '@_'"; }; print "Hello!\n"; die "Hi"; print "Goodbye!\n"; ### Result: [duelafn@teckla]$ ./die.pl Hello! In die: 'Hi at ./die.pl line 6. Hi at ./die.pl line 6. '[duelafn@teckla]$

Two things did not happen as expected. First, I expected execution to continue to print "Goodbye!\n";. Second, I don't get where the double message is coming from.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Update: Missed the inability to cheat death. Thanks! Any thoughts on the double message? - both messages appear between my single quotes!

Update 2: Nevermind, figured out the double message. Quotes are in the right place if I disable buffering $| = 1. Thanks all!

Good Day,
    Dean
