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, and Sawyer X. 37 38=head2 PUMPKIN? 39 40[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution] 41 42=for disclaimer orking cows is hazardous, and not legal in all jurisdictions 43 44Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker, 45David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot 46potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: 47 48[begin quote] 49 50 Who has the patch pumpkin? 51 52To explain: David Croy once told me that at a previous job, 53there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. 54But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech 55method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. 56No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin". 57 58[end quote] 59 60The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called 61the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling 62the strings?). 63 64=head1 THE RECORDS 65 66 Pump- Release Date Notes 67 king (by no means 68 comprehensive, 69 see Changes* 70 for details) 71 ====================================================================== 72 73 Larry 0 Classified.

However, that doesn't 1044keep us from calculating how large a patch could have been. Which is 1045shown in the table below.
