Ways of quoting

I knew that you could use :: to make sure that a package name wasn't used as a subroutine, but I didn't really understand what it did.

$ perl -MO=Deparse -e '$x = anything_could_go_here::'
$x = 'anything_could_go_here';
-e syntax OK

Just like single quotes?

TIMTOWTDI I guess...

So we have

q{}
''
=>
::
qw{}
- (as in -bareword)
[download]

And of course

no strict;
$x = bareword;
[download]

not to mention

"" and qq{}
`` and qx{}
[download]

Somebody will tell me that I missed some, I'm sure.
