Perhaps call it Perl --

I don't like that name much; sounds diminutive.

I think I would call any perl 5.x successor perlV (perlV.exe) and then versions would be the year(&month?) of release.

So perlV 2015.3 might be followed 6 months later by perlV 2015.9 followed by perlV 2016.3 and so on. Still Perl 5, but different; upgraded; current.
