Sounds like the ideal solution would allow both
sorts of warn and die messages with some option
to allow the programmer to choose.  Perhaps the
present form would be set as the default if you
install the MPW Tool components.

If the structure of the warn and die messages
are a convention that's become a de facto
standard then I vote for getting MacPerl to
adhere to the standard.  Turn the current
behavior into an optional platform specific
feature available for those who use MPW.
