Each package's \"END\"\nblock is called when the program or thread ends. See the perlmod manpage\nfor more details about \"END\" blocks.\n\nFor example, you can use this to make sure your filter program managed\nto finish its output without filling up the disk:\n\nEND {\nclose(STDOUT) || die \"stdout close failed: $!\";\n}\n\nThe \"END\" block isn't called when untrapped signals kill the program,\nthough, so if you use \"END\" blocks you should also use\n\nuse sigtrap qw(die normal-signals);\n\nPerl's exception-handling mechanism is its \"eval()\" operator. You can\nuse \"eval()\" as \"setjmp\" and \"die()\" as \"longjmp\". For details of this,\nsee the section on signals, especially the time-out handler for a\nblocking \"flock()\" in \"Signals\" in perlipc or the section on \"Signals\"\nin *Programming Perl*.\n\nIf exception handling is all you're interested in, use one of the many\nCPAN modules that handle exceptions, such as Try::Tiny.\n\nIf you want the \"atexit()\" syntax (and an \"rmexit()\" as well), try the\n\"AtExit\" module available from CPAN.\n",
