Why not Perl 7 instead of 5.36?
Some people, hoping to see Perl 7 sooner rather than later, have asked, "Why wasn't this latest release of Perl released as Perl 7? It's got a bunch of new stuff, after all!" The answer to this question depends on who you ask, but for the PSC, we can agree on something like this:
Changing the version number can serve two jobs. One is to indicate to a potential upgrader that there may be backward incompatibilities. We have generally decided against doing this, rejecting the original Perl 7 plan. The other job is to alert casual observers that the new release is a significant milestone, and that folks who wouldn't otherwise give much thought to the upgrade should take this time to re-evaluate the tool's fitness.
