"By Christmas" is the only option that's guaranteed to be correct.
(Or maybe "Next year" can also be deemed guaranteed - in which case so also can "Tomorrow" ;-)

It was one of my first YAPCs when I heard Larry Wall talking about how the next version of Perl would be out be Christmas, and then I didn't think anything more about it. Christmas came and went, and I experienced the dawning realization that .. it might be a while for the next version. Like .. 20+ years. :D
As has already been pointed out, the definitive answer can only be 'By Christmas'. :)

OK.. but which one of many Christmases? And Perl7.. but the 7 is to be intended in base-10?
Sorry but nowadays I'm a bit lost..

Directly after Perl 5.99 - and the only reason to start with Perl 7.0 will be an obscure 2-digit-limit on the minor index. ;-)

Are you sure?
$ perl -M5.100
Perl v5.100.0 required (did you mean v5.10.0?)--this is only v5.33.9,
