no it doesn't. if you put it inside an eval{}, it won't quit. consider:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my $reg = shift;

while(<STDIN>){
        chomp;
        eval{
                print "$_\n" if(/$reg/o);
        }
        print "ERROR: $@\n" if($@);
}

__END__

again, this is just an example of what you can do. you should consider 
quoting your $reg also
