Perl Lexical Warnings

## NAME

perllexwarn - Perl Lexical Warnings

## DESCRIPTION

Perl v5.6.0 introduced lexical control over the handling of warnings by category.  The `"warnings"` pragma generally replaces the command line flag **-w**.  Documentation on the use of lexical warnings, once partly found in this document, is now found in the warnings documentation.
