NAME

overloading - perl pragma to lexically control overloading

SYNOPSIS

    {
no overloading;
my $str = "$object"; # doesn't call stringification overload
    }

    # it's lexical, so this stringifies:
    warn "$object";

    # it can be enabled per op
    no overloading qw("");
    warn "$object";

    # and also reenabled
    use overloading;
