Really. We mostly just 21 switched version numbers so the book could refer to 4.000. 22 Perl 5 introduced everything else, including the ability to 23 introduce everything else. 24 25=head1 THE KEEPERS OF THE PUMPKIN 26 27Larry Wall, Andy Dougherty, Tom Christiansen, Charles Bailey, Nick 28Ing-Simmons, Chip Salzenberg, Tim Bunce, Malcolm Beattie, Gurusamy 29Sarathy, Graham Barr, Jarkko Hietaniemi, Hugo van der Sanden, 30Michael Schwern, Rafael Garcia-Suarez, Nicholas Clark, Richard Clamp, 31Leon Brocard, Dave Mitchell, Jesse Vincent, Ricardo Signes, Steve Hay, 32Matt S Trout, David Golden, Florian Ragwitz, Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, 33Chris C<BinGOs> Williams, Zefram, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, Stevan 34Little, Dave Rolsky, Max Maischein, Abigail, Jesse Luehrs, Tony Cook, 35Dominic Hargreaves, Aaron Crane, Aristotle Pagaltzis, Matthew Horsfall, 36Peter Martini, Sawyer X, Chad 'Exodist' Granum, Renee Bäcker, Eric Herman, 37John SJ Anderson, Karen Etheridge, Zak B.

We had passed around various names (baton, token, hot 47potato) but none caught on. Then, Chip asked: 48 49[begin quote] 50 51 Who has the patch pumpkin? 52 53To explain: David Croy once told me that at a previous job, 54there was one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups. 55But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a low-tech 56method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a stuffed pumpkin. 57No one was allowed to make backups unless they had the "backup pumpkin". 58 59[end quote] 60 61The name has stuck. The holder of the pumpkin is sometimes called 62the pumpking (keeping the source afloat?) or the pumpkineer (pulling 63the strings?). 64 65=head1 THE RECORDS 66 67 Pump- Release Date Notes 68 king (by no means 69 comprehensive, 70 see Changes* 71 for details) 72 ====================================================================== 73 74 Larry 0 Classified.

However, that doesn't 1194keep us from calculating how large a patch could have been. Which is 1195shown in the table below. Unless noted otherwise, the size mentioned is 1196the patch to bring version x.y.z to x.y.z+1. 1197 1198 Sarathy 5.6.1 2001-Apr-08 531 44 651 1199 Rafael 5.6.2 2003-Nov-15 20 11 1819 1200 1201 Jarkko 5.8.0 2002-Jul-18 1205 31 471 From 5.7.3 1202 1203 5.8.1 2003-Sep-25 243 102 6162 1204 Nicholas 5.8.2 2003-Nov-05 10 50 788 1205 5.8.3 2004-Jan-14 31 13 360 1206 5.8.4 2004-Apr-21 33 8 299 1207 5.8.5 2004-Jul-19 11 19 255 1208 5.8.6 2004-Nov-27 35 3 192 1209 5.8.7 2005-May-30 75 34 778 1210 5.8.8 2006-Jan-31 131 42 1251 1211 5.8.9 2008-Dec-14 340 132 12988 1212 1213 Hugo 5.9.0 2003-Oct-27 281 168 7132 From 5.8.0 1214 Rafael 5.9.1 2004-Mar-16 57 250 2107 1215 5.9.2 2005-Apr-01 720 57 858 1216 5.9.3 2006-Jan-28 1124 102 1906 1217 5.9.4 2006-Aug-15 896 60 862 1218 5.9.5 2007-Jul-07 1149 128 1062 1219 1220 5.10.0 2007-Dec-18 50 31 13111 From 5.9.5 1221 1222 1223=head1 THE KEEPERS OF THE RECORDS 1224 1225Jarkko Hietaniemi <F<jhi@iki.fi>>. 1226 1227Thanks to the collective memory of the Perlfolk.
