  $opts->stashed;

warned

  warned() : Num

The warned method returns the number of warnings emitted during option parsing.

  my $opts = Data::Object::Opts->new(
    args => ['-vh'],

  );

  $opts->warned;

warnings

  warnings() : ArrayRef[ArrayRef[Str]]

The warnings method returns the set of warnings emitted during option parsing.
