If the script is being run in a cron job then the 'die' message should be sent in an email to the user the script is being run as, which all too often is "root" on the local machine. You might want to check that mailbox if you haven't done so already.

That being said, I agree with adding some form of exception handling as mentioned in the prior response so you have a chance to send an informative email to the desired people.

It helps to remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
