NAME
perlhist - the Perl history records
DESCRIPTION
This document aims to record the Perl source code releases.
IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN
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.

PPUUMMPPKKIINN??
[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution]
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?).

The "core"..."doc" mean the following files from the Perl source code
distribution. The glob notation ** means recursively, (.) means regu-
lar files.
core *.[hcy]
lib lib/**/*.p[ml]
ext ext/**/*.{[hcyt],xs,pm}
t t/**/*(.) (for 1-5.00556) or **/*.t (for 5.6.0-5.7.3)
doc {README*,INSTALL,*[.]man{,.?},pod/**/*.pod}
Here are some statistics for the other subdirectories and one file in
the Perl source distribution for somewhat more selected releases.

The "diff lines kb" means that for example the patch 5.00308, to be
applied on top of the 5.00307 (or whatever was before the 5.00308)
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) con-
text diff output format.
