That's for the first one.
Remember that ' is a package separator; so perl, seeing nested', expects
an identifier (a name) to follow. Hence the error. See perldiag for
more info on it.

Here, perl successfully parses the full identifier nested::nested.
What it doesn't understand is, why is there an identifier at this place ?
It was expecting an operator instead.
