==
When Perl 6 was conceived, it was intended to be a replacement for Perl 5. (The next version, if you will) As time went on, it became obvious that Perl 5 was still heavily used and desired, and Perl 6 wasn't going to be a drop in replacement for it. Having both languages named Perl led to much confusion outside of the community and much bickering and contention inside. To try to give both languages room to grow, it was decided to rename Perl 6. As of October 2019, "Perl 6" was officially (well, as officially as a volunteer led, open source project can be...) renamed to "Raku".
As of October 2019, "Perl 6" was renamed as "Raku". Since the old name has been in use for many years, it will take some time for the new designation to propagate widely. Expect to see both names in use for some time, but understand that they refer to exactly the same underlying idea. In particular, here on Rosetta Code essentially all tasks are currently listed under Perl 6, and there are no immediate plans to change this.▼
