warn always returns true

I think it should be documented that warn() always returns true.
(and die() too?)


perl -wle '
   $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { warn "Foo: ", @_; return };
   my $x = 0;
   eval { 1 / $x } or warn( "1:", $@ ) and warn "2";
'
Foo: 1:Illegal division by zero at -e line 4.
Foo: 2 at -e line 4.


perl -wle '
  close STDERR;
  print "print-test:", print STDERR "foo";
  print "warn-test:", warn "bar";
'
print-test:
warn-test:1
