neversaint has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Programmers make mistakes, and occasionally those mistakes will be catastrophic.
- D. Conway on using "revision control system" (PBP).
Dear Masters,

Can anybody give a simple example (tutorial)? How can I use CVS - or others - for my own personal Perl coding practices? Since most of the example are for compiled language like C/C++ where it required linking etc.
Currently what I do is just simply saving my code under different name, this is painful!
myperlcode.pl myperlcode_V1.pl myperlcode_V2.pl etc.
I've never use CVS or RCS or Subversion before, and would really like to know how you guys use it, in your Perl coding experience. Please be patient with me.
