Does anyone know if it is possible to check out and check in files in Visual Source Safe with active state perl? If so, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks Steve

    Visual SourceSafe has a command-line interface that you can use.
    Try looking up 'command line' in the documentation.
    system "ss checkout $filename"; system "ss checkin $filename";
    VSS also has a COM interface, but that's quite a bit more work for little gain.
