-=head1 NAME
-
-perlhist - the Perl history records
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This document aims to record the Perl source code releases.
-
-=head1 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.
-

-
-=head2 PUMPKIN?
-
-[from Porting/pumpkin.pod in the Perl source code distribution]
-
-=for disclaimer orking cows is hazardous, and not legal in all jurisdictions
-
-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 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 "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)

-=head3 The patch-free era
-
-In more modern times, named releases don't come as often, and as progress
-can be followed (nearly) instantly (with rsync, and since late 2008, git)
-patches between versions are no longer provided. However, that doesn't
-keep us from calculating how large a patch could have been. Which is
-shown in the table below. Unless noted otherwise, the size mentioned is
-the patch to bring version x.y.z to x.y.z+1.
