127 Fatal - replace functions with equivalents which succeed or die
131 use Fatal qw(open close);
134 import Fatal 'juggle';
138 C<Fatal> provides a way to conveniently replace functions which normally
139 return a false value when they fail with equivalents which halt execution
140 if they are not successful. This lets you use these functions without
141 having to test their return values explicitly on each call. Errors are
142 reported via C<die>, so you can trap them using C<$SIG{__DIE__}> if you
143 wish to take some action before the program exits.
145 The do-or-die equivalents are set up simply by calling Fatal's
146 C<import> routine, passing it the names of the functions to be
147 replaced. You may wrap both user-defined functions and overridable
148 CORE operators (except C<exec>, C<system> which cannot be expressed
149 via prototypes) in this way.
