Intercept $SIG{__WARN__} and $SIG{__DIE__} and youll capture all dies and warnings, including those generated by Carp. Unfortunately it isnt straightforward handling $SIG{__DIE__} correctly if eval is in use.
Or override Carp::carp().
Something like
*Carp::carp=sub {
$message=Carp::shortmess @_;
handle_carp_message($message);
warn $message;
};
