Solution: Since, \displaystyle{\frac{1}{{{{\left( {{e^z} - z} \right)}^2} + {\pi ^2}}} = \frac{1}{{\left( {{e^z} - z - i\pi } \right)\left( {{e^z} - z + i\pi } \right)}} = \frac{1}{{2\pi i}}\left( {\frac{1}{{{e^z} - z - i\pi }} - \frac{1}{{{e^z} - z + i\pi }}} \right)}

We have : \displaystyle\int\limits_{ - \infty }^{ + \infty } {\frac{1}{{{{\left( {{e^z} - z} \right)}^2} + {\pi ^2}}}dz}

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{2\pi i}\left( {\int\limits_{ - \infty }^{ + \infty } {\frac{1}{{{e^z} - z - i\pi }}dz} - \int\limits_{ - \infty }^{ + \infty } {\frac{1}{{{e^z} - z + i\pi }}dz} } \right)

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{{2\pi i}}\left( {\int\limits_{ - \infty }^{ + \infty } {\frac{1}{{ - {e^{\left( {z + i\pi } \right)}} - \left( {z + i\pi } \right)}}dz} - \int\limits_{ - \infty }^{ + \infty } {\frac{1}{{ - {e^{\left( {z - i\pi } \right)}} - \left( {z - i\pi } \right)}}dz} } \right)

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{{2\pi i}}\left( {\int\limits_{ - \infty + i\pi }^{ + \infty + i\pi } {\frac{1}{{ - {e^w} - w}}dw} - \int\limits_{ - \infty - i\pi }^{ + \infty - i\pi } {\frac{1}{{ - {e^w} - w}}dw} } \right)

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{{2\pi i}}\left( {\int\limits_{ - \infty - i\pi }^{ + \infty - i\pi } {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} - \int\limits_{ - \infty + i\pi }^{ + \infty + i\pi } {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} } \right)

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{{2\pi i}}\left( {\int\limits_{ - \infty - i\pi }^{ + \infty - i\pi } {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} + \int\limits_{ + \infty + i\pi }^{ - \infty + i\pi } {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} } \right).

But, \displaystyle{\left| {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}} \right| \geqslant \frac{1}{{\left| {{e^w}} \right| + \left| w \right|}}\xrightarrow{{w \to \infty }}0}
so, \displaystyle{\int\limits_c {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} = \int\limits_{ - \infty - i\pi }^{ + \infty - i\pi } {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} + \int\limits_{ + \infty + i\pi }^{ - \infty + i\pi } {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} }

Where, \displaystyle{c:} rectangles with vertices \displaystyle{A\left( { - M, - \pi } \right),\;B\left( {M, - \pi } \right),\;C\left( {M,\pi } \right)\;\& \;D\left( { - M,\pi } \right)} with \displaystyle{M \to + \infty } and a proper direction of rotation.

The function \displaystyle{f\left( w \right) = \frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}} is meromorphic inside the rectangle \displaystyle{c} (with some poles).

We seek the poles of \displaystyle{f\left( w \right) = \frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}} inside \displaystyle{c} , therefore the roots of the equation \displaystyle{{e^w} + w = 0} .

Now, \displaystyle {e^w} + w = 0 \Rightarrow {e^{x + iy}} + x + iy = 0 \Rightarrow {e^x}\cos y + x = 0 and \displaystyle {{e^x}\sin y + y = 0}.

For \displaystyle{y = 0} unique real roots of the equation \displaystyle{{e^x} + x = 0}.

For \displaystyle{y \ne 0} we \displaystyle{{e^x} = - \frac{y}{{\sin y}}} which is impossible for \displaystyle{y \in \left[ { - \pi ,\;\pi } \right]} (inside the rectangle \displaystyle{c} ). So if \displaystyle{\rho :} are the roots of the equation \displaystyle{{e^x} + x = 0},

we have, \displaystyle\int\limits_c {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} = 2\pi i \cdot {\text{Res}}\left( {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}},w = \rho } \right)

\displaystyle = 2\pi i \cdot \mathop {\lim }\limits_{w \to \rho } \frac{{w - \rho }}{{{e^w} + w}} = \frac{{2\pi i}}{{{e^\rho } + 1}},

so, \displaystyle\int\limits_{ - \infty }^{ + \infty } {\frac{1}{{{{\left( {{e^z} - z} \right)}^2} + {\pi ^2}}}dz}

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{{2\pi i}}\left( {\int\limits_{ - \infty - i\pi }^{ + \infty - i\pi } {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} + \int\limits_{ + \infty + i\pi }^{ - \infty + i\pi } {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} } \right)

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{{2\pi i}}\int\limits_c {\frac{1}{{{e^w} + w}}dw} = \frac{1}{{{e^\rho } + 1}}

But, \displaystyle{e^\rho } + \rho = 0 \Rightarrow {e^\rho } = \left( { - \rho } \right) \Rightarrow \left( { - \rho } \right){e^{\left( { - \rho } \right)}} = 1, that is \displaystyle{ - \rho = \Omega } where, \displaystyle{\Omega :} the roots of the equation \displaystyle{x{e^x} = 1}.

and finally, \displaystyle\int\limits_{ - \infty }^{ + \infty } {\frac{1}{{{{\left( {{e^z} - z} \right)}^2} + {\pi ^2}}}dz} = \frac{1}{{{e^\rho } + 1}} = \frac{1}{{\left( { - \rho } \right) + 1}} = \frac{1}{{1 + \Omega }}
