1=head1 NAME 2 3perlhist - the Perl history records 4 5=head1 DESCRIPTION 6 7This document aims to record the Perl source code releases. 8 9=head1 INTRODUCTION 10 11Perl 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 25Larry Wall, Andy Dougherty, Tom Christiansen, Charles Bailey, Nick 26Ing-Simmons, Chip Salzenberg, Tim Bunce, Malcolm Beattie, Gurusamy 27Sarathy, Graham Barr, Jarkko Hietaniemi, Hugo van der Sanden, 28Michael Schwern, Rafael Garcia-Suarez, Nicholas Clark, Richard Clamp, 29Leon Brocard. 30 31=head2 PUMPKIN? 32 33[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution] 34 35Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker, 36David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot 37potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: 38 39[begin quote] 40 41 Who has the patch pumpkin? 42 43To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job, 44there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. 45But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech 46method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. 47No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin". 48 49[end quote] 50 51The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called 52the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling 53the strings?). 54 55=head1 THE RECORDS 56 57 Pump- Release Date Notes 58 king (by no means 59 comprehensive, 60 see Changes* 61 for details) 62 =========================================================================== 63 64 Larry 0 Classified.
