According to perldoc -f die and perldoc perlvar # look at %SIG{expr} the die_handler will be called with the string die was passed. From the perldoc -f die, die will concatenate all parameters together. Therefore, your problem makes sense. You might try passing an array reference containing the three strings, and then dereferencing the array from within your die_handler... i.e. sub die_handler { my(@vars) = @{ $_[0] }; ... same as before. } die( ["foo", "goo", "bar"] ); I didn't try this, but judging by perldoc it should work.
