Code​:
my Str where 'foo' $test;

Result​:
===SORRY!===
Type 'Str' is not declared. Did you mean 'str'?
at ./test.pl​:2
------> my Str �where 'foo' $test;
Malformed my
at ./test.pl​:2
------> my Str �where 'foo' $test;

Well, let's also try what it says​:
my str where 'foo' $test;

Result​:
===SORRY!===
Type 'str' is not declared. Did you mean 'Str'?
at ./test.pl​:2
------> my str �where 'foo' $test;
Malformed my
at ./test.pl​:2
------> my str �where 'foo' $test;

Current error message is misleading. But when it's fixed, maybe it could
figure out that 'where' is misplaced? For me it was a natural thing to type
�Str where 'foo'�, I think that other people could mistakenly try that too.
If it is possible to detect that and suggest a fix, so much the better.

This can be golfed down to​:

my Int;

As a status update​: All code snippet in this ticket die now with X​::Syntax​::Malformed and complain about 'Malformed my' during compilation (I think, it was fixed with rakudo commit e1e03e6ed5)​:

$ perl6-m -e 'my Str where "foo" $test'
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Malformed my
at -e​:1
------> my Str� where "foo" $test

$ perl6-m -e 'my str where "foo" $test'
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Malformed my
at -e​:1
------> my str� where "foo" $test

$ perl6-m -e 'my Int'
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Malformed my

------> my Int�<EOL>

A while ago I opened a PR (rakudo/rakudo#565) related to this ticket. I added some code in order to detect misplaced where clauses, etc. But that PR was not merged (probably my patch was a bit over-engineered). It looks like my branch is not mergeable anymore -- maybe I should close it.

@usev6 - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

From @AlexDaniel

I merged the PR. Thank you for you patience.

You can see some code examples here​: rakudo/rakudo#565 (comment)
Maybe these can be turned into tests easily.
