[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Perl syntax highlight does not understand $package::var syntax (#1679)

[Johannes Ernst]

In Perl, I define a module `M.pm` with a shared variable `$foo`:
```
package M;
our $foo = 'something';
1;
```
which I then can use, with a full path, in some other file `f.pl`:
```
use M;
print "The value is $M::foo\n";
1;
```
In the print line, Geany syntax-highlights `$M` but it is supposed to highlight `$M::foo` as that is the name of the symbol.
