The comment here mentions this:

     ;; Additionally underline non-scalar variables.  Maybe this is a bad idea.
     ;;'("[$@%*][#{]?\\(\\sw+\\)" 1 font-lock-variable-name-face)
     ("[$*]{?\\(\\sw+\\(::\\sw+\\)*\\)" 1 font-lock-variable-name-face)
     ("\\([@%]\\|\\$#\\)\\(\\sw+\\(::\\sw+\\)*\\)"
      (2 (cons font-lock-variable-name-face '(underline))))

And it is a bad idea to hard-code this, but having different faces here
makes sense, I think.  So could you whip up another patch to add the new
face, as you suggested?
