Hi All,
  Following the post here:
51097
I have implemented a global die signal handler. I have the: 
die @_ if $^S;

[download]
to drop out if this die is generated within an eval block, but my issue is that the eval block is dying within it's compile time.
    As per perldoc: "$^S Current state of the interpreter. Undefined if parsing of the current module/eval is not finished (may happen in $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} handlers). True if inside an eval, otherwise false.".
  So $^S is undef, but the die is within an eval block. What is the best way to deal with this? I'm about to write code that check the stack trace for "eval {...}" and drop out if it's found. But that doesn't seem like the idea solution?
