I appreciate it. :D

Here's what I came up with: 
####################################
##           READ LOOP            ##
####################################
if ($read) {
    my $fh2 = new IO::File("<ccrConfig.cfg");
    return unless($fh2);
    
    my @state2 = <$fh2>;
    my $state2 = join("", @state2);
    
    foreach my $f (@state2) {
        print "File is $f\n"; 
        my $logoutput = qx(cvs log $f);
        if ($logoutput eq "RCS") {
            `cvs co $f`;
       else {
            print "File $f is not in CVS, skipping\n";
        }
}
    }

Running a cvs log on any of the files in the list always starts with "RCS file: ...", so what I'm trying to do is:

"If a cvs log of the file returns a string that starts with RCS, then check it out, otherwise print out that it's missing".

And I'm getting this error currently: 
$ Global symbol "$logoutput" requires explicit package name at ccrutil
+.pl line 5
6.
Global symbol "$logoutput" requires explicit package name at ccrutil.p
+l line 57.

syntax error at ccrutil.pl line 59, near "else"
syntax error at ccrutil.pl line 63, near "}"
Execution of ccrutil.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

I must be screwing up the syntax, but from what I can tell, isn't "$string = "text" the proper syntax for "contains"?

Thank you very much once again.
