From @KES777

Created by @KES777

The doc says​:
If the output is empty and $@​ already contains a value (typically from a previous eval) that value is used after appending "\t...caught

$ perl -E '$@​ = bless {}, "Test";warn;'
Test=HASH(0x1916cb8) at -e line 1.

but I expect​:
Test=HASH(0x1916cb8) ...caught at -e line 1.

Doing some info dig I compare 'warn' with 'die' (The only one difference between them, to mine mind, must be execution does not stop after 'warn' )

CASE 1
perl -E '$@​ = "Test";warn;die;'
Test ...caught at -e line 1.
Test ...propagated at -e line 1.

Everything is expected here

CASE 2
$ perl -E '$@​ = bless {}, "Test";warn;die;'
Test=HASH(0x17facb8) at -e line 1.
Test=HASH(0x17facb8)

Expected default behaviour, if object has no 'PROPAGATED' sub. So the second line must be also​:
Test=HASH(0x17facb8) at -e line 1.

But in both cases $@​ is used, so I expect also ...caught/...propagated. Like CASE 1

CASE 3
perl -E '{package Test; sub PROPAGATE { return 'YES'; } } $@​ = bless {}, "Test"; warn; die;'
Test=HASH(0xa27cb8) at -e line 1.
YES at -e line 1.

As you, maybe, have noticed (in compare to CASE 2) the die has 'at -e line 1'
Relaying on that that 'warn' must be same as 'die' except execution does not stop after it.
I expect 'YES' instead of 'Test=HASH(0xa27cb8)' for 'warn'

CASE 4
perl -E '{use strict;use warnings;package Test; sub PROPAGATE { return; } } $@​ = bless {}, "Test"; warn; die;'
Test=HASH(0x2325cb8) at -e line 1.
at -e line 1.

Here I expect warning about 'Use of uninitialized value...'

1. Should I open its own bug report for CASE 2, 3 and 4?
2. May I try to write draft of warn/die handling by perl from my point of view?
  (But maybe I will need a consultation of somebody to explain me warn/die today internals
  and why that done in that way instead other)

The "...caught" is deliberately not appended to a reference.
The documentation is amiss in not saying so. But then the location
information should also not be appended. The code is amiss there.

There's a general intent that referenced objects be left intact through
the warn/die system, so that they can be used to carry more information
than a mere string message. This implies that nothing can be concatenated
to them. It follows that exception objects are responsible for producing
a complete message, with newline and everything, when they're stringified.

perl -E '{package Test; sub PROPAGATE { return 'YES'; } } $@​ = bless {}, "Test"; warn; die;'
...
I expect 'YES' instead of 'Test=HASH(0xa27cb8)' for 'warn'

Warning is not the same thing as propagating an unwinding exception.
It is intentional that warn doesn't invoke the PROPAGATE method.

Here I expect warning about 'Use of uninitialized value...'

That condition arises at the point of the die that sees the undef value.
The scope of your "use warnings" doesn't include the die, so the warning
isn't issued.

1. Should I open its own bug report for CASE 2, 3 and 4?

No. You've only found one situation that's amiss, which is the one you
opened with.
