=head1 DESCRIPTION
This document aims to record the Perl source code releases.
=head1 INTRODUCTION
Perl history in brief, by Larry Wall:
Perl 0 introduced Perl to my officemates.
Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\(...\|...\)/ to
/(...|...)/. \(Dan Faigin still hasn't forgiven me. :-\)
Perl 2 introduced Henry Spencer's regular expression package.
Perl 3 introduced the ability to handle binary data (embedded nulls).
Perl 4 introduced the first Camel book. Really. We mostly just
switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000.
Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to
introduce everything else.
=head1 THE KEEPERS OF THE PUMPKIN
Larry Wall, Andy Dougherty, Tom Christiansen, Charles Bailey, Nick
Ing-Simmons, Chip Salzenberg, Tim Bunce, Malcolm Beattie, Gurusamy
Sarathy, Graham Barr.
=head2 PUMPKIN?
[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution]
Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker,
David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot
potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked:
[begin quote]
Who has the patch pumpkin?
To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job,
there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups.
But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech
method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin.
No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin".
[end quote]
The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called
the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling
the strings?).

added lines for 110 kilobytes, it removed lines for 19 kilobytes, and
changed lines for 424 kilobytes. Just the lines themselves are
