There seems to be some confusion here. Here's an example of the
behavior I'm talking about.
sub thr_func
{
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
print("I hate warnings: $_[0]");
exit(1);
};
die("Thread dies for some reason\n");
}
threads->create('thr_func');
sleep(99);
In the above, the thread 'die's which results in a warning. (In and
of itself, this would not terminate the application.) The warning
is then intercepted by the thread's warning handler which subsequently
executes an 'exit'. This results in the whole application terminating.
