| 7 | This document aims to record the Perl source code releases. |

| 9 | =head1 INTRODUCTION |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | Perl history in brief, by Larry Wall: |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | Perl 0 introduced Perl to my officemates. |
|---|
| 14 | Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\(...\|...\)/ to |
|---|
| 15 | /(...|...)/. \(Dan Faigin still hasn't forgiven me. :-\) |
|---|
| 16 | Perl 2 introduced Henry Spencer's regular expression package. |
|---|
| 17 | Perl 3 introduced the ability to handle binary data (embedded nulls). |
|---|
| 18 | Perl 4 introduced the first Camel book. Really. We mostly just |
|---|
| 19 | switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000. |
|---|
| 20 | Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to |
|---|
| 21 | introduce everything else. |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | =head1 THE KEEPERS OF THE PUMPKIN |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | Larry Wall, Andy Dougherty, Tom Christiansen, Charles Bailey, Nick |
|---|
| 26 | Ing-Simmons, Chip Salzenberg, Tim Bunce, Malcolm Beattie, Gurusamy |
|---|
| 27 | Sarathy, Graham Barr, Jarkko Hietaniemi, Hugo van der Sanden, |
|---|
| 28 | Michael Schwern, Rafael Garcia-Suarez, Nicholas Clark, Richard Clamp. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | =head2 PUMPKIN? |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | [from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution] |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker, |
|---|
| 35 | David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot |
|---|
| 36 | potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | [begin quote] |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | Who has the patch pumpkin? |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job, |
|---|
| 43 | there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. |
|---|
| 44 | But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech |
|---|
| 45 | method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. |
|---|
| 46 | No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin". |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | [end quote] |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called |
|---|
| 51 | the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling |
|---|
| 52 | the strings?). |
