in reply to $'name

I would suppose that the lexer in the perl parser is intelligent enough to recognize the pattern for variables of that sort. It could loosely be described as:      \$'([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)? Which could define a valid variable name.

Otherwise, how would you distinguish between $x and $xy? Or, $_ and $_x for that matter.
