commit 120921acd4cf27bb932a725a8cf5c957652b22eb
Author: Zefram <zefram@fysh.org>
Date:   Sun Jan 22 07:26:34 2017 +0000

    fix special-case recreation of *::

    If *:: is called for then as a special case it is looked up as
    $::{"main::"}.  If $::{"main::"} has been deleted, then that hash entry
    is recreated.  But formerly it was only recreated as an undef scalar,
    which broke things relying on glob lookup returning a glob.  Now in
    that special case the recreated hash entry is initialised as a glob,
    and populated with the customary recursive reference to the main stash.
    Fixes [perl #129869].
