Perl 6 has been renamed to Raku (https://raku.org https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media). You can run Perl inside of it if you want to, with the Inline::Perl5 module.

- ksaj 6y agoI'm surprised to see .pm6 extension still being used, at least on the rakudo documentation page. Do those contain Raku code, or Perl?
- lizmat 6y agoThese would contain Raku code. But as with Perl, the core developers value backward compatibility much. Since many versions of Raku in use do not know of the new .rakumod extension yet, the old extension is used for many modules still. This is probably going to change in the next language revision of Raku. See https://github.com/Raku/problem-solving/blob/master/solutions/language/Path-to-Raku.md#extensions https://github.com/Raku/problem-solving/blob/master/solution... for the nitty gritty.
