+=item B<Fix problem parsing '$$*'>
+
+In random testing, an error was encountered parsing the following line
+
+  $self->{"mod_id"}=($$*1001)%(10**(rand()*6));
+                       ---^
+  found Number where operator expected (previous token underlined)
+
+The line parsed correctly with a space between the '$$' and the '*'. The
+problem had to do with an error in some newer code for postfix dereferencing,
+and this was fixed on 2 Nov 2020.
