Hi.
When perl-mode decides to fontify variables and functions by looking
at the syntax prefix ($ or &) in a word, it does not take into account
that maybe the variable or function can be of an external module.
So in expresions "$Foo::bar" or "&Foo:bar" only "Foo" is
fontified. This looks ackward when editing code where such programming
practices are followed.
Following patch solves this, IMHO. Maybe someone in this list can
review and/or apply it.
