FYI, I reported the perl bug mentioned on the Cygwin mailing list earlier
today to perlbug and they've reported back that it is a known bug and that
it'll be fixed in the next version (5.6.2). Regards,

Yes - known bug. It is mended in current development versions,

It won't catch any die() which is generated inside Perl.
