in thread CVS and perl

A little nit...

Using CVS with Perl code is not just as using CVS with any other code. At least not when looking at the whole configuration management picture. Most CM models assume C-style code compilation, so a lot of general documentation on version control tools are going to assume you need to muck about with source and object code and libs and executables. The Perl way is simpler, of course, but I have seen CM's get tripped up trying to apply the traditional logic without making adjustments. Since the poster is messing with both Perl and C, he should probably be aware of this.

    However note that a Perl project which is using something like Template Toolkit, then some thinking needs to go on about combining checkins with builds...

    OK, not as much since the build time is likely to be reasonably quick, but it does arise.
