Provides a way to replace functions that return false on
failure with equivalents that die instead, so you can use the
functions without having to test the return values explicitly. Fatal
reports errors via die; you can
trap them with $SIG{_ _DIE_ _} if
you want to take action before the program exits. You can use Fatal
for both user-defined functions and Perl core operators except
exec and system.
