Subject: local sigdie obscures @INC
The message provided by the localized SIG{__DIE__} does not, like the built-in error, provide @INC in it. That means that "use Foo; @ISA = qw(Foo)" will provide better diagnostics if Foo can't be found. -- rjbs

You're referring to this? $ perl -wle 'use base "Foo"' Base class package "Foo" is empty. (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.) at -e line 1 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. Yes, it would be nice if it passed through the real message. Very doable.
