i want to "die", but mod_perl won't let me

[Jonathan Vanasco <suppressed>]

startup.pl has this:

	use MyConfig::ServerLayout;

and then:

	package MyConfig::ServerLayout;

	my 	$_environment= $ENV{'SERVER_TYPE'};
	if ( !defined $_environment ) {
		die "ERROR! You MUST define SERVER_TYPE in \$ENV !";
	}

that will never trip, even if $_environment is set to undef , and i'm  
hitting up STDERR explicitly.  no die i put in there will halt the  
startup - conditional or not.  i also tried begin blocks.

the docs don't suggest anything to me.

the only thing i can think of is this:

	the code is only executed on the implicit restart at startup, with  
no stderr , so the  die message never prints to stderr or elsewhere.
	but if thats the case, it should halt.  instead it keeps going.
