NAME
    Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely - Die in a Nagios output compatible way

SYNOPSIS
      use Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely;

      ... your code goes here ...

DESCRIPTION
    When your Nagios plugins, or the modules that they use raise an
    exception with *die*, *croak* or *confess*, the exception gets lost, and
    Nagios treats the output as an UNKNOWN state with no output from the
    plugin, as STDERR gets discarded by Nagios.

    This module overrides perl's default behaviour of using exit code 255
    and printing the error to STDERR for exit code 2 (Nagios CRITICAL), and
    outputing the error to STDOUT with "CRITICAL - " prepended to the
    exception.

TODO
     - People might want WARNING (or OK) on die
     - Get the shortname of the module through Nagios::Plugin if it is beeing used
     - Issue perl warnings to STDOUT, and possbily issue WARNING or CRITICAL
