=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?).

                                         for details)

=head2 SELECTED PATCH SIZES

The "diff lines kb" means that for example the patch 5.003_08, to be
applied on top of the 5.003_07 (or whatever was before the 5.003_08)
added lines for 110 kilobytes, it removed lines for 19 kilobytes, and
changed lines for 424 kilobytes.  Just the lines themselves are
counted, not their context.  The "+ - !" become from the diff(1)
context diff output format.
