Tie::Cvs - Perl extension to tie Hashes to CVS trees

  use Tie::Cvs;

  tie %cvs, 'Tie::Cvs', "/root/mycvsroot";

  Tie::Cvs is a module to tie Perl hashes with a CVS Tree.  It uses
  CVS versioning system such that the hash will have value versions.

Use it normally, as any other tie.

Each time you call delete on a key, the current version will be deleted, and the value will roll back to the previous version in CVS. If there is no previous version, the file will be deleted.

If you want to delete completly a key (delete the file) use something like:

  while(delete($cvs{$key})) {}

The defined methods are the standard for tie modules.

   tie %cvs, 'Tie::Cvs', "/root/mycvsroot";
