Yes, that was me. die() is used there and `perldoc -f die` reads
| If the value of EXPR does not end in a newline, the current

| printed, and a newline is supplied. Note that the "input line

In LWP::UserAgent this is caught:
| if ($use_eval) {
| # we eval, and turn dies into responses below
| eval {
| $response = $protocol->request($request, $proxy,
| $arg, $size, $timeout);
| };
| if ($@) {
| $@ =~ s/\s+at\s+\S+\s+line\s+\d+\.?\s*//;
| $response =
| HTTP::Response->new(&HTTP::Status::RC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
| $@);
| }
The regular expression should be extended to remove also
/,\s+<HANDLE>\s+(?:line|chunk)\s+\d+\.?\s*/
