Unfortunately, "Perl 7" was a "thing" in the discussions before the name change. IMO, going to "Perl 32" makes more sense, as it actually reflects the current version numbering scheme. Or refer to the year: Perl 2020.
If Oracle had "bought" Perl they'd probably renamed it to Perl 32 by now and sued everyone else for using sygils.
The current numbering scheme uses odd minor version numbers for development versions and even for stable, just like Linux used to, until Linus got fed up with 2.6 after 8 years. Now it gets a bump whenever the minor version sticks too much.
