A last argument to die ending in something other than \n prints the file and line where the die was called, not $!.</pedant>

    <pedant>You forgot to open your pedant tag.</pedant>

      I personally believe that you should know that the reason why is that Fletch is so pedant that he opened it when you were still wearing diapers, you pedantry-n00b! ;)</humour>

    I wouldn't call that pedantry: thinking the die message includes the value of $! by default is a serious misunderstanding of die, in disagreement of the "best practice" to include $! in the error message yourself.
