The "Perl6/Raku is nothing like Perl 5" hype has been hugely overstated. It wasn't called Perl 6 for nothing and it was developed by the same Perl team more or less. For anyone who worked with Perl 5 significantly the legacy in Perl6/Raku is obvious. Raku's whole object model is a slightly more capable version of Moose.pm, a Perl 5 module on CPAN.
