Question

I would like my script perl to die whenever a warning is generated, including warnings which are generated by used packages.

To add to rafl's answer: when adding a handler to %SIG, it is (usually) better to not overwrite any previous handler, but call it after performing your code:

my $old_warn_handler = $SIG{__WARN__};
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub {

    # DO YOUR WORST...

    $old_warn_handler->(@_) if $old_warn_handler;
};

(This also applies to signal handlers like $SIG{HUP}, $SIG{USR1}, etc. You never know if some other package (or even another instance of "you") already set up a handler that still needs to run.)
