140Perl history in brief, by Larry Wall:
141.PP
142.Vb 9
143\& Perl 0 introduced Perl to my officemates.
144\& Perl 1 introduced Perl to the world, and changed /\e(...\e|...\e)/ to
145\& /(...|...)/. \e(Dan Faigin still hasn't forgiven me. :-\e)
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.
150\& Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to
151\& introduce everything else.

161.IX Subsection "PUMPKIN?"
162[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution]
163.PP
164Chip Salzenberg gets credit for that, with a nod to his cow orker,
165David Croy. We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot
166potato) 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
174To explain: David Croy once told me once that at a previous job,
175there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups.
176But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech
177method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin.
178No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the \*(L"backup pumpkin\*(R".
179.PP
180[end quote]
181.PP
182The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called
183the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling
184the strings?).

761The \*(L"diff lines kb\*(R" means that for example the patch 5.003_08, to be
762applied on top of the 5.003_07 (or whatever was before the 5.003_08)
763added lines for 110 kilobytes, it removed lines for 19 kilobytes, and
764changed lines for 424 kilobytes. Just the lines themselves are
765counted, not their context. The \*(L"+ \- !\*(R" become from the \fIdiff\fR\|(1)
766context diff output format.
