Really. We mostly just 19*0Sstevel@tonic-gate switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000. 20*0Sstevel@tonic-gate Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to 21*0Sstevel@tonic-gate introduce everything else. 22*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 23*0Sstevel@tonic-gate=head1 THE KEEPERS OF THE PUMPKIN 24*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 25*0Sstevel@tonic-gateLarry Wall, Andy Dougherty, Tom Christiansen, Charles Bailey, Nick 26*0Sstevel@tonic-gateIng-Simmons, Chip Salzenberg, Tim Bunce, Malcolm Beattie, Gurusamy 27*0Sstevel@tonic-gateSarathy, Graham Barr, Jarkko Hietaniemi, Hugo van der Sanden, 28*0Sstevel@tonic-gateMichael Schwern, Rafael Garcia-Suarez, Nicholas Clark, Richard Clamp, 29*0Sstevel@tonic-gateLeon Brocard. 30*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 31*0Sstevel@tonic-gate=head2 PUMPKIN? 32*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 33*0Sstevel@tonic-gate[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution] 34*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 35*0Sstevel@tonic-gateChip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker, 36*0Sstevel@tonic-gateDavid Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot 37*0Sstevel@tonic-gatepotato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: 38*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 39*0Sstevel@tonic-gate[begin quote] 40*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 41*0Sstevel@tonic-gate Who has the patch pumpkin? 42*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 43*0Sstevel@tonic-gateTo explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job, 44*0Sstevel@tonic-gatethere was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. 45*0Sstevel@tonic-gateBut instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech 46*0Sstevel@tonic-gatemethod to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. 47*0Sstevel@tonic-gateNo one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin". 48*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 49*0Sstevel@tonic-gate[end quote] 50*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 51*0Sstevel@tonic-gateThe name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called 52*0Sstevel@tonic-gatethe pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling 53*0Sstevel@tonic-gatethe strings?). 54*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 55*0Sstevel@tonic-gate=head1 THE RECORDS 56*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 57*0Sstevel@tonic-gate Pump- Release Date Notes 58*0Sstevel@tonic-gate king (by no means 59*0Sstevel@tonic-gate comprehensive, 60*0Sstevel@tonic-gate see Changes* 61*0Sstevel@tonic-gate for details) 62*0Sstevel@tonic-gate =========================================================================== 63*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 64*0Sstevel@tonic-gate Larry 0 Classified.
