POCustom error handling is catching errors that normally are not displayed

copied!<p>I am having a problem I can't seem to figure out and I hope you guys can help me.<br/> The problem occurs when :<br/></p> <ul> <li>I use custom errorhandling</li> <li>I use File::Stat in a seperate module</li> </ul> <p>Example:</p> <p>Main file</p> <pre><code>use strict; use warnings; # signal handling $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { my $error = @_; chomp $error; print "die: $error\n"; }; require mod; mod->get_stat(); </code></pre> <p>Module</p> <pre><code>package mod; use strict; use warnings; use File::stat; sub get_stat { my $file_path = "test.txt"; my $file_size = stat($file_path)->size; print $file_size; } 1; </code></pre> <p>This will cause the following output:</p> <pre><code>die: 1 die: 1 die: 1 die: 1 die: 1 4 </code></pre> <p>Now, if I remove my custom error handling OR if I <strong>use</strong> mod instead of <strong>require</strong> the die's will not be displayed.</p> <p>Interesting to see is that it <strong>does</strong> actually produce a result (test.txt is 4 bytes), meaning <strong>stat</strong> is working as it should.</p> <p>So, why am I getting this error ? Is this really an error ? Does the default perl error handling ignore errors that are "1"?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong><br/> As Linus Kleen remarked, the reason I get "1" is because I am displaying the amount of elements in the array.</p> <p>If I print out the content of the error instead, I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>die: Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro S_ISVTX, used at c:/Perl64/lib/File/stat.pm line 37. die: Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro S_IFSOCK, used at c:/Perl64/lib/File/stat.pm line 41. die: Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro S_IFBLK, used at c:/Perl64/lib/File/stat.pm line 41. die: S_IFFIFO is not a valid Fcntl macro at c:/Perl64/lib/File/stat.pm line 41. die: Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro S_IFLNK, used at c:/Perl64/lib/File/stat.pm line 41. 4 </code></pre> <p>But still, I am getting an error that, without custom error handling, I do not get.</p>
