in reply to different between die and exit
die is used to throw an exception (catchable using eval).
exit is used to exit the process.
die will set the error code based on $! or $? if the exception is uncaught.
exit will set the error code based on its argument.
And of course,
die outputs a message
exit does not.
Update: Added "catchable" bit by request of ysth.
