Module Maintenance

This creates a new revision in the repository in this case 1.2 for both files. Each 

file carries its own revision number, which is incremented each time it is updated. 

You can examine the history of a file in CVS using the cvs log command. For 

example, here's the cvs log output for Counter.pm after the commit operation:

$ cvs log Counter.pm

At the bottom, listed in reverse chronological order, are the revisions that exist in 

the CVS repository 1.2, 1.1, and 1.1.1.1 in this case along with log messages.

Adding and Removing Files and Directories

CVS needs to be told about new files and directories. This is done with the cvs add

command. For example, if I created an INSTALL file in the Data::Counter project, 

I would run the cvs add command:
