11=head1 INTRODUCTION
12
13Perl history in brief, by Larry Wall:
14
a3cb178b
GS
15 Perl 0 introduced Perl to my officemates.
16 Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\(...\|...\)/ to
d516a115 17 /(...|...)/. \(Dan Faigin still hasn't forgiven me. :-\)
cac726e9

18 Perl 2 introduced Henry Spencer's regular expression package.
19 Perl 3 introduced the ability to handle binary data (embedded nulls).
20 Perl 4 introduced the first Camel book. Really. We mostly just
d516a115 21 switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000.
cac726e9 22 Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to
d516a115 23 introduce everything else.

36=head2 PUMPKIN?
37
38[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution]
39
40Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker,
41David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot
42potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked:
43
44[begin quote]
45
46 Who has the patch pumpkin?
47
48To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job,
49there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups.
50But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech
51method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin.
52No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin".
53
54[end quote]
55
56The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called
193fb0af
GS
57the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling
58the strings?).

913=head3 The patch-free era
914
915In more modern times, named releases don't come as often, and as progress
916can be followed (nearly) instantly (with rsync, and since late 2008, git)
917patches between versions are no longer provided. However, that doesn't
918keep us from calculating how large a patch could have been. Which is
919shown in the table below. Unless noted otherwise, the size mentioned is
920the patch to bring version x.y.z to x.y.z+1.
