What is the CVS Tools Project?

CVS Tools Project provides utilities for users, project/build managers and system administrators. The tools use platform independent languages like bash, Perl, Python or Java. Platforms supported are Win32/Cygwin and Linux. The utilities were written by the Maintainer while maintaining several CVS projects. Some of the tools have also been rescued form various mailing lists and Usenet groups. The aim is to gather and make best of the best tools for everyday CVS management.

Perl is a language for getting your job done. Developed by Larry Wall, who can be considered the most famous language hacker for the web age. Almost every little utility can be best and easiest written using odd-looking Perl language. Perl is also a cross platform language, meaning that you can run the programs under Unix, Linux and Windows environments. Learn more about Perl at http://www.perl.org and Windows Perl downloads are available at http://www.activestate.com
