Perl7 is a fork of values
Wait, hold on. They're talking about Perl7. Is this the next version after Perl6, which is called Raku? Or is Raku already completely forked off and now they're talking about another fork of what remains of Perl?

They are talking about the next iteration of Perl 5.

It's the next logical major version for Perl 5. Consider "Perl 6" to be a dead term.

perl7 is the continued development of perl5.
they skipped 6 to avoid confusion with raku.
