Script for Cvs checkout.

NikhilRangaraju has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Everybody....
I need to follow these steps to make cvs checkout.
1)set the cvsroot as environmental variable with the following value CVSROOT=:pserver:nikhil@appollo:/usr/local/cvs

2)Open command prompt....type c:\nikhil\cvs\> cvs login

3)Cvs password: nikhil.

4)Now cvs checkout <module name>-<our module name is viewer

5)Now the latest source code that was in cvs repository will be checkedout into our system.

These are the manual prodecures that we should do to perform Cvs checkout. i want all these operations to be performed by writing a perl script and automate it.... Anybody please give me ideas to generate the script in perl.

Regards,
Nikhil

You could start looking at CPAN for CVS modules. I found Cvs from a quick search. Check it and see if it suit for your needs. Igor 'izut' Sutton your code, your rules.	[reply]
