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