You must have tested something else, because exit() does cause a
process to leave an eval block.  Maybe you tried it in a Registry
script?  Those override exit() using the standard perl methods for
overriding CORE:: functions.

This does not print anything:
perl -e 'eval { exit(0); }; print "foo";'

Well, mod_perl is just perl.  There's nothing different about the
language or the interpreter.
