I'm also using Getopt::Long 2.52 (and perl 5.36.1). I also get the warning with your invocation. But my original code does not get a warning.

After adding debugging lines to Getopt/Long.pm, I see it's because use warnings does not set $^W (in contrast to the -w option that you used, which does). As in: 

perl -M'Getopt::Long -e 'use warnings; my ($x,$y); GetOptions ("v" => 
+\$x, "V" => \$y);'

Getopt::Long uses $^W to decide if the warnings should be reported ($dups is the built-up string of warnings, which is correctly set): 
  if ( $dups && $^W ) {
        foreach ( split(/\n+/, $dups) ) {
            warn($_."\n");

Judging from https://perldoc.perl.org/warnings#Reporting-Warnings-from-a-Module, I guess Getopt::Long should not (solely?) be looking at $^W nowadays?

Grepping the 5.36.1/ directory, I see some 30 other cases of "if.*\$\^W". So the end result is apparently that a few warnings in core modules are missed when using "use warnings", but shown when using -w ...
