Here is a little snippet of (wrong!) Perl code, which shows what is needed
to catch each of the font-lock errors:

\$"asd"
\$'asd'
\$`asd`

$opt_s!asd!bsd!
$opt::s!asd!bsd!
$opt{s}asd}bsd}
(s => ...)=bsd=

The fourth case is the one originally posted here.  Both Ilya's and Emacs'
modes fall into precisely the same traps.  If anybody sees this differently,
I'd very much like to see their .emacs.
