NAME
     perlhist - the Perl history records

DESCRIPTION
     This document aims to record the Perl source code releases.

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.

THE KEEPERS OF THE PUMPKIN
     Larry Wall, Andy Dougherty, Tom Christiansen, Charles Bai-
     ley, Nick Ing-Simmons, Chip Salzenberg, Tim Bunce, Malcolm
     Beattie, Gurusamy Sarathy, Graham Barr, Jarkko Hietaniemi,
     Hugo van der Sanden, Michael Schwern, Rafael Garcia-Suarez,
     Nicholas Clark, Richard Clamp, Leon Brocard.

     PUMPKIN?

     [from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribu-
     tion]

     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?).

     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
