Rakudo r32280 compiles programs with undeclared variables without
complaining, and then dies with a strange error message when running
the programs.

$ perl6 -c -e 'say $x'
syntax OK

$ perl6 -e 'say $x'
No handler to delete.

Hi there,

Rakudo> $b
No handler to delete.

I think should be something about undeclared variable.

and nice explanation here (it may be one of test cases)

[18​:20] <moritz_> bbkr​: it's like { $_ / x }
[18​:21] <moritz_> bbkr​: and because nothing calls it, the existance
check for &x is never done

[18​:21] <ash_> that error message doesn't come up until you call $a
[18​:21] <ash_> since whatever's are lazy

From @moritz

Undeclared variables have long been detected at compile time, undeclared
routines are now tracked in [perl #​77112], so I'm closing this ticket.
