Otherwise the errors can propagate, and show in damnest places, and you would spend your time chasing ghosts instead of debugging real problem (yes, it is from personal experience).

This follows (parts of) advice in `perldoc -f do` documentation.

This is fallout from my work on [split] "Gitweb output caching" series.
Before I used `die $@ if $@;' in t/t9503/test_cache_interface.pl, tests
failed for no discernable reason...
So I think the same should be done for the gitweb config file.
