Perl5 does in fact make a clear separation. 'values' are SV structures
(and AVs and HVs etc). Variables are names in stashes, PADs etc
that have a pointer to an SV or whatever.

I think you may have mis-understood the emphasis of the vtable PDD doc -
it discusses how to store *values*, and says nothing whatsoever about
variables.
