For example​:

my @​array = 1, 2, 3;
my %hash = :foo(1), :bar(2);

say $array[0]; # Variable '$array' is not declared. Did you mean any of these?

say $hash{'foo'}; # Variable '$hash' is not declared. Did you mean any of these?

say $hash<foo>; # Variable '$hash' is not declared. Did you mean any of these?

Granted, these error messages could be worse, but I think a "hey, I see you're used to Perl 5"-style message could be useful.

I'm happy enough with the message pointing to the correct variable name here​:

Variable '$array' is not declared. Did you mean any of these?
  @​array
  Array
  array

Yes, I'm happy with it too. No need for perl 5 error message here (also, please, let's have less perl 5 error messages).

testneeded.

Also, here's how the error message was changing over time​: https://gist.github.com/Whateverable/2373e732b2c3c10f643fa8eb5c5470a7
