Larry Wall:
# Hmm.  Those don't really stand out enough.  Maybe we should go with
# OBJECT:: and GLOBAL:: just for a little more visual punch.

How about CORE:: instead of GLOBAL::?  This helps stick with tradition
and minimize the number of reserved packages.

# : And what will:
# : 
# :   main.*can('foo')
# : 
# : result in?
# 
# These days it's "Main", not "main".  And it's a module, not a 
# class, so probably it fails, unless someone can think of 
# something useful for it to mean.

I'd hope that Perl would allow me to do something like that to see if
Main::foo exists...
