Found in /usr/share/perl/5.38/pod/perlfaq8.pod How can I do an atexit() or setjmp()/longjmp()? (Exception handling) You can use the "END" block to simulate atexit(). Each package's "END" block is called when the program or thread ends. See the perlmod manpage for more details about "END" blocks. For example, you can use this to make sure your filter program managed to finish its output without filling up the disk: END { close(STDOUT) || die "stdout close failed: $!"; } The "END" block isn't called when untrapped signals kill the program, though, so if you use "END" blocks you should also use use sigtrap qw(die normal-signals); Perl's exception-handling mechanism is its eval() operator. You can use eval() as "setjmp" and die() as "longjmp". For details of this, see the section on signals, especially the time-out handler for a blocking flock() in "Signals" in perlipc or the section on "Signals" in *Programming Perl*. If exception handling is all you're interested in, use one of the many CPAN modules that handle exceptions, such as Try::Tiny. If you want the atexit() syntax (and an rmexit() as well), try the "AtExit" module available from CPAN.
