Well, if you want to stick with Perl, you can use svk, which has elements of subversion, is written in Perl, and has some other fancy features.

If you are starting something new, I'd stay away from CVS. I think the only people who would recommend it are people who have to use it currently. CVS doesn't let you rename files, but Subversion does. From their web page: "Subversion is meant to be a better CVS". Subversion mostly took all of the annoying bits of CVS and fixed them, so don't start with the annoying bits. :)

And, subversion works on Windows.
