You can also catch errors with eval or __DIE__ signal and save before quit.

You should not mess with `$SIG{__DIE__}` unless you have excellent reasons to do so. A simple `eval { ... }` is sufficient to trap any exception thrown by `die` calls, plus it avoids spooky actions-at-a-distance. `$SIG{__DIE__}` has some nasty side effects inside explicit or implicit `eval` blocks.
