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;
DESCRIPTION¶

- "no overloading"
 - Disables overloading entirely in the current lexical scope.
 - "no overloading @ops"

 - "use overloading @ops"
