What would doing *anything* with other keys of %SIG have to do with it? Or did
you mean that you're already using $SIG{__WARN__}, and overriding or wrapping
it again would be painful?
__WARN__ and __DIE__ are not my favorite tools ever, but a situation like this
(where you aren't going to be trying to pick up after the handler's done) isn't
egregious.
Also, I don't think you're going to find anything better without requiring that
all your packages import warnings FATAL => 'all', either directly or through
some intermediary module (see e.g. Modern::Perl for how to do this).
hdp.
