5 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | This document aims to record the Perl source code releases. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | =head1 INTRODUCTION | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Perl history in brief, by Larry Wall: | |
| 12 | ||
| a3cb178b GS |
13 | Perl 0 introduced Perl to my officemates. |
| 14 | Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\(...\|...\)/ to | |
| d516a115 | 15 | /(...|...)/. \(Dan Faigin still hasn't forgiven me. :-\) |
| cac726e9 NIS |
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 | |
| d516a115 | 19 | switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000. |
| cac726e9 | 20 | Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to |
| d516a115 | 21 | introduce everything else. |

| 31 | =head2 PUMPKIN? | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | [from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution] | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker, | |
| 36 | David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot | |
| 37 | potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | [begin quote] | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Who has the patch pumpkin? | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job, | |
| 44 | there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. | |
| 45 | But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech | |
| 46 | method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. | |
| 47 | No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin". | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | [end quote] | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called | |
| 193fb0af GS |
52 | the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling |
| 53 | the strings?). | |

| 547 | applied on top of the 5.003_07 (or whatever was before the 5.003_08) | |
| 548 | added lines for 110 kilobytes, it removed lines for 19 kilobytes, and | |
| cac726e9 | 549 | changed lines for 424 kilobytes. Just the lines themselves are |
