POSIX::_exit(0);

    Yeah, right! Didn't think of that. Could be a solution, but it's still not really pretty, because that exits are scattered all over the place (not my fault).

    /me dances around a bit as it was suggested

      I seems I have not explained clearly my workaround. Let my try again with some sample code: 
      
END {
# sub END {  OOPS!!!
  do_something();
  POSIX::_exit(0);
}

do_this();
do_that();

exit(0);

      update: sub in front of END removed!

        I'm sorry, but that doesn't work out on my machine. The peak is still there
