Really. We mostly just 21 switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000. 22 Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to 23 introduce everything else. 24 25=head1 THE KEEPERS OF THE PUMPKIN 26 27Larry Wall, Andy Dougherty, Tom Christiansen, Charles Bailey, Nick 28Ing-Simmons, Chip Salzenberg, Tim Bunce, Malcolm Beattie, Gurusamy 29Sarathy, Graham Barr, Jarkko Hietaniemi, Hugo van der Sanden, 30Michael Schwern, Rafael Garcia-Suarez, Nicholas Clark, Richard Clamp, 31Leon Brocard, Dave Mitchell, Jesse Vincent, Ricardo Signes, Steve Hay, 32Matt S Trout, David Golden, Florian Ragwitz, Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, 33Chris C<BinGOs> Williams, Zefram, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, Stevan 34Little, Dave Rolsky, Max Maischein, Abigail, Jesse Luehrs, Tony Cook, 35Dominic Hargreaves, Aaron Crane, Aristotle Pagaltzis, Matthew Horsfall, 36Peter Martini, Sawyer X, Chad 'Exodist' Granum, Renee Bäcker, Eric Herman, 37John SJ Anderson, Karen Etheridge, Zak B.

We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot 48potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: 49 50[begin quote] 51 52 Who has the patch pumpkin? 53 54To explain: David Croy once told me that at a previous job, 55there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. 56But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech 57method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. 58No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin". 59 60[end quote] 61 62The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called 63the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling 64the strings?). 65 66=head1 THE RECORDS 67 68 Pump- Release Date Notes 69 kin (by no means 70 Holder comprehensive, 71 see Changes* 72 for details) 73 ====================================================================== 74 75 Larry 0 Classified.

However, that doesn't 1230keep us from calculating how large a patch could have been. Which is 1231shown in the table below.
