[ID 20010718.002] Sigdie/eval problems when using utf8

This is a bug report for perl from pja@ogawa.cistron-office.nl,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.33 running under perl v5.6.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
perl -wle 'BEGIN { $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { print "Catched SIGDIE: @_";exit(-1) }} use utf8; /^\w$/;'

Results in:

Catched SIGDIE: Can't locate object method "IsWord" via package "main" (perhaps you forgot to load "main"?) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/utf8_heavy.pl line 30.

This code illustrates the problem: the eval() done by utf8_heavy.pl fails and
calls the die-handler which is set within the BEGIN block.

I think this should not happen, because the 'die' within eval() is in a 
different scope than the position where the Die-handler is set.

[Please do not change anything below this line]
