Hello All,

I am having difficulty getting the Cvs module to work and I assume that it is due to my ineptitude. Are there any examples of how to use this module?

Here is the code that I am having difficulty with, maybe it is some simple that I am missing and if someone could point it out I would be grateful!

I am assuming that the 'working' directory option is where the working copy of the repository has been previously checked out to.

The cvsroot value is the same as what is in the checked out CVS/Root file.

I have added a '\' before the @ however that does not seem to make a difference.

There already exists a checked out version of the common/scripts/release/regress.pl file.

Thanks

Brian Miller
