What is libtest-exit-perl

libtest-exit-perl is:

Test::Exit provides some simple tools for testing that code does or does not call exit(), while stopping code that does exit at the point of the exit(). Currently it does so by means of exceptions, so it will not function properly if the code under test calls exit() inside of an eval block or string.

The only criterion tested is that the supplied code does or does not call exit(). If the code throws an exception, the exception will be propagated and you will have to call it yourself. die()ing is not exiting for the purpose of these tests.
