 DESCRIPTION
     When enabled (or disabled as some may prefer to say, since you actually
     turn it on by calling "no indirect"), this pragma warns about indirect

+    If this environment variable is set to true when the pragma is used for
+    the first time, the XS code won't be loaded and, although the 'indirect'
+    lexical hint will be set to true in the scope of use, the pragma itself

+    for disabling "indirect" in production environments.
+
+    Note that clearing this variable after "indirect" was loaded has no

+    reload it by deleting the 'indirect.pm' entry from %INC.
