12 Perl history in brief, by Larry Wall:
13 Perl 0 introduced Perl to my officemates.
15 Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\(...\⎪...\)/ to
16 /(...⎪...)/. \(Dan Faigin still hasn't forgiven me. :-\)
17 Perl 2 introduced Henry Spencer's regular expression package.
18 Perl 3 introduced the ability to handle binary data (embedded nulls).
19 Perl 4 introduced the first Camel book. Really. We mostly just
20 switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000.
21 Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to
22 introduce everything else.

30 PUMPKIN?
32 [from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution]
34 Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker,
36 David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot
37 potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked:
38 [begin quote]
40 Who has the patch pumpkin?
42 To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job, there
44 was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. But
45 instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech
46 method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. No
47 one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin".
48 [end quote]
50 The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called the
52 pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling the
53 strings?).

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