144 | \& Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\e(...\e|...\e)/ to | |

146 | \& Perl 2 introduced Henry Spencer's regular expression package. | |
147 | \& Perl 3 introduced the ability to handle binary data (embedded nulls). | |
148 | \& Perl 4 introduced the first Camel book. Really. We mostly just | |
149 | \& switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000. | |

163 | .PP | |
164 | Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker, | |
165 | David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot | |
166 | potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: | |
167 | .PP | |
168 | [begin quote] | |
169 | .PP | |
170 | .Vb 1 | |
171 | \& Who has the patch pumpkin? | |
172 | .Ve | |
173 | .PP | |
174 | To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job, | |
175 | there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. | |
176 | But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech | |
177 | method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. | |
178 | No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the \*(L"backup pumpkin\*(R". | |
179 | .PP | |
180 | [end quote] | |
181 | .PP | |
182 | The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called | |
183 | the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling | |
184 | the strings?). | |
