Well, there's HTML and XHTML - why not Perl and XPerl? You need a name that associates it with older versions of Perl, yet at the same time clearly says that the new version is significantly different. |

The "X" in "XHTML" has a significance though. It means "based on XML rather than (almost) on SGML".
There'd be no equivalent for Perl vs XPerl. Plus, XPerl sounds like "the former Perl" when you pronounce it.
