FYI Raku is formerly known as Perl 6, not alternatively. Raku is not Perl, despite being described in some places as a "sister language."


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    It isn't so cut and dried. Yes, it was renamed. But it still retains many references in the documentation to Perl 6. For example:

    https://docs.raku.org/language/5to6-nutshell

    Also, they have still maintained a considerable amount of compatibility with Perl5 modules, coding/syntax, etc.--much of which is enabled optionally, or via a module specially created for the purpose.

    Blessings,

      Yes, it does. And those should be fixed in order to prevent such confusion.
