Description

Description from the home page:

Devel::LexAlias provides the ability to alias a lexical variable in a subroutines scope to one of your choosing.

If you don't know why you'd want to do this, I'd suggest that you skip this module. If you think you have a use for it, I'd insist on it.

Still here?

lexalias( $where, $name, $variable )

$where refers to the subroutine in which to alias the lexical, it
 can be a coderef or a call level such that you'd give to caller

$name is the name of the lexical within that subroutine

$variable is a reference to the variable to install at that location
