in reply to How do you wanna die() ?

When feeling silly, I use die lines like these:
die "$0 casts itself into the Gorge of Eternal Peril: $!"; die "$0 on fire: $!"; # lp1 on fire die "mailx -s 'Idiot coding perl' merlyn < /dev/null : $!";
Of course, when all's debugged, I simply use bland ones:
die "open(timehole): $!\n";
