main:: vs main'
by Jeff Pinyan other posts by this author

[PATCH-R] was Re: SuSE's gcc-2.95.2 and //depot/perl | Re: main:: vs main'
The ' synonym for :: is not fully supported:

  *sym = main::;
  *sym = main';
  Bad name after main'.

Is that because ' is deprecated?  Or to stop silly missing-quote mistakes?
