I just did this:

    $foo'bar'glarch = 1;

and 
    print $foo'bar'glarch;

and the right thing happened!!  In the debugger,  'V foo' says:

    %_bar = (
      glarch        'StB^S^H^PgH^A'
    )

and "V foo'bar" says nothing at all.

On the other hand, 
    $foo'bar'glarch = 'red';
followed by 
    print $foo'bar'glarch;
still says 1.

Isn't that odd?
