The 10000th patch was courtesy of Andreas König. Yes, I made it so by selective patch ordering :-) -- but it doesn't diminish the significance of the choice.

Andreas does deserve all the possible glory for keeping the PAUSE running. The PAUSE is the major part of CPAN and I always feel bad when people talk of me as "the CPAN guy". CPAN wouldn't exist without Andreas. Also the wondrous CPAN.pm is his handiwork. Remember him everytime you are using CPAN.pm and a module, including all its prerequisites, installs like magic. I know Andreas wants you to remember him also when the installation doesn't work *quite* that magically :-), send him the bug report and you can be certain that Andreas will fix the problem amazingly fast.

Congratulations, Andreas, and thank you Jarkko!

And Jarkko's contribution...

It's worth remembering that Perl has been in Perforce for just over four years now. During that time, we've gone through three pumpkings - Malcolm, Sarathy and Jarkko. Even so, Jarkko's contributions to Perl patching make up nearly 50% of the changes in the repository. This man works hard. Thanks, Jarkko.

Yes, it is quite in(?)credible and notable. I'd like to add the somwhat obvious, though, that this is not the 10,000 patch to perl, but the 10,000 patch to perl on the Perforce repository.

I wonder how many there have actually been?
