They influence each other, [The OpenBSD Operating System](https://www.OpenBSD.org) [Why does OpenBSD still include Perl in its base installation?](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23360338) -The renaming of Perl 6 to Raku has now opened the door for a future Perl 7. As far as I understand, Perl 7 will be Perl 5 but with modern features enabled by default (e.g. pragmas `use strict;`, `use warnings;`, `use signatures;` and so on.
