### Description

If possible, I would like that the `kamailio/src/modules/app_perl/lib/perl/Kamailio.pm` file does not generate error messages to the system log files, which are not actual errors and are caused by `eval` blocks of third-party Perl modules that my code depends on.

To illustrate the current setup, let's consider the following:

- In file `/etc/kamailio/kamailio_52.cfg` ```perl modparam( "app_perl", "filename", "/opt/myprogram/perllib/MyKamailio.pm" ) ```

- In file `/opt/myprogram/perllib/MyKamailio.pm`: ```perl use Crypt::JWT qw( decode_jwt encode_jwt ); ```

- It happens that `Crypt::JWT` depends on `CryptX`, which in turn needs a `JSON::XS` implementation, which could be either `Cpanel::JSON::XS` or `JSON::XS`or `JSON::PP`, in that order of preference. That need is resolved at runtime, as we can see in the following code fragment taken from the file at https://github.com/DCIT/perl-CryptX/blob/master/lib/CryptX.pm: ```perl BEGIN { if (eval { require Cpanel::JSON::XS }) { Cpanel::JSON::XS->import(qw(encode_json decode_json)); $has_json = 1; } elsif (eval { require JSON::XS }) { JSON::XS->import(qw(encode_json decode_json)); $has_json = 2; } elsif (eval { require JSON::PP }) { JSON::PP->import(qw(encode_json decode_json)); $has_json = 3; } else { $has_json = 0; } } ```

- In my system, `Cpanel::JSON::XS` is not installed because it is not needed. I could install it, but unfortunately that module intermittently causes a segmentation fault, as described in the issue report at https://github.com/rurban/Cpanel-JSON-XS/issues/179.

### Expected behavior

I would expect two things:

- The operating system log files, like `/var/log/syslog`, adds only entries like the following ones after restarting Kamailio:

May 25 14:30:06 myserver systemd[1]: kamailio.service: Succeeded. May 25 14:30:06 myserver systemd[1]: Stopped Kamailio server. May 25 14:30:06 myserver systemd[1]: Starting Kamailio server... May 25 14:30:06 myserver systemd[1]: Started Kamailio server.

- The output of commands like `systemctl status kamailio.service` only shows informational messages of success.

### Actual observed behavior

- The operating system log files, like `/var/log/syslog`, also adds error messages like the following one after restarting Kamailio:

May 25 14:30:06 myserver /sbin/kamailio[1827476]: ERROR: app_perl [kamailioxs.xs:1041]: XS_Kamailio__Message_log(): perl error: Can't locate Cpanel/JSON/XS.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Cpanel::JSON::XS module) (@INC contains: /opt/myprogram/perllib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.30.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.30 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30 /usr/share/perl/5.30 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.30.0/CryptX.pm line 14.

- The output of commands like `systemctl status kamailio.service` adds that same error message at its end.

### What could be changed in Kamailio?

The `kamailio/src/modules/app_perl/lib/perl/Kamailio.pm` file could ignore, or bypass, the `__DIE__` signals coming from `eval` blocks, like this changed code fragment shows:

```perl $SIG{'__DIE__'} = sub { die @_ if( $^S or not defined $^S ); Kamailio::Message::log(undef, L_ERR, "perl error: $_[0]\n"); }; ```

That changed is based on the following references:

- The [Override die with END or CORE::GLOBAL::die](https://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/2011/05/override-die-with-end-or-co...) article, which says:

There’s a Perl special variable that can help. The documentation for die recommends that you start your `__DIE__` handler by checking `$^S` before you continue. Inside the handler, the special handler is turned off so `die` inside `$SIG{__DIE__}` is the real `die`. The value of `$^S` will be true if it came from within an `eval`, so this just re-throws the exception without handling it.

- The [Perl documentation for the `$^S` variable](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar#%24%5ES), which says:

Current state of the interpreter.

$^S State --------- ------------------------------------- undef Parsing module, eval, or main program true (1) Executing an eval false (0) Otherwise

The first state may happen in `$SIG{__DIE__}` and `$SIG{__WARN__}` handlers.

- The [Perl documentation for the `die` function](https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/die), which says:

You can arrange for a callback to be run just before the `die` does its deed, by setting the `$SIG{__DIE__}` hook. The associated handler is called with the exception as an argument, and can change the exception, if it sees fit, by calling `die` again. See `"%SIG"` in perlvar for details on setting `%SIG` entries, and `eval` for some examples. Although this feature was to be run only right before your program was to exit, this is not currently so: the `$SIG{__DIE__}` hook is currently called even inside `eval`ed blocks/strings! If one wants the hook to do nothing in such situations, put

```perl die @_ if $^S; ```

as the first line of the handler (see "`$^S`" in perlvar). Because this promotes strange action at a distance, this counterintuitive behavior may be fixed in a future release.
