Sure. That seems like it would fail a little bit too silently though.
I use a $SIG{__DIE__} as a catch-all with a dialog box. The trouble
with doing eval only at the menu-click time is that any sort of
persistent objects can still crash you when their are events are
handled.

that they're probably going to miss your house, because if they were on
a collision course with your house, the pitch would stay the same until
impact. As I said, that one's subtle.
