Those things you mention fall into the "doctor, it hurts when I do this" category. Normal code shouldn't need DESTROY at all, and if it does, it should be extremely careful. And if you're creating complex overloaded exception objects, you have already lost. What does your test module's overloaded $SIG{__DIE__} do with a module that itself overloads $SIG{__DIE__}?
Sure, it's possible to build ever-more-complicated exception mechanisms with lots of corner cases, and to require more testing modules to control them. Sometimes you may even be forced into this silliness. But since you're inviting a world of hurt by doing so, you should ask yourself first whether a simpler solution could work.

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).
