That the management is on your side is a big plus. However, it is hard to change people's habits. I think the final step that motivates you to learn something new for a lot of people is when the old way to do it becomes too cumbersome. I started using CVS when it was just too much effort to back up different versions, find out when I made a certain change etc. :). So breaking the old system is not too bad an idea...
I'd try to talk to management about this. Develop a plan together to introduce a better system. If your company is a professional development shop, I am sure they have coding guidelines, prescribed programming environment guidelines etc. It is hard to change a project that has already going on for a while. Why not choose a new project, maybe even with a couple developers that are still rather new to the company, and try to implement some of your changes there?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
