Exactly the opposite. A lexical variable has nothing to do with the symbol table and does not belong to any package. A lexical variable is a variable that exists only for the duration of it's lexical scope. That is, only until the end of the inner-most enclosing block in which it was defined, or the end of the file if it was not enclosed in any block.
