That is the way to do it.
(I tried timo's suggestion of &*EXIT = -> | { die 'exited' }

but then I cant work out how to get the message. I've been looking at

Incomplete sentence there. I guess it doesn't work for you? Tell us how
you tried to use it, what you were expecting, and what happened instead.
I guess I should look into porting Test::Trap to Perl6 ... in Perl5, I'd
just write the test like so:
trap { some_code() };
$trap->stderr_like(qr/some pattern/, 'stderr from some_code matches some
pattern');
$trap->did_exit('some_code exited');
# or if you care about the exact exit code:
$trap->exit_is(1, 'exit code 1 from some_code');
... or thereabouts. I'm stuck on my phone and no perl at the moment ...
