in thread [OT?] SCM recommendation for small to medium size Perl projects

You may be interested in http://better-scm.berlios.de/comparison/comparison.html which compares a slew of different revision control systems.

I'm a GUI kinda guy. Having just discovered that Tortoise lets you add detail columns to explorer for things like tags and version numbers I'm in clover. ;)

It's a year since I looked at Monotone, but as I recall it tracks files by their md5 hash - same hash, same file. Much of the interaction with Monotone seemed to involve having to manage files using hashes, but maybe I just didn't grok the interface - I've certinaly forgotten the details.

Of course this a feature that AFAICT all modern SCMs have... [cf. changeset commits]

CVS doesn't, although I guess you could argue that it's not modern.

    Thank you. Some other reading won't do harm. Although I'm afraid that reading too much wouldn't bring me anywhere. Better to try the real thing hands on. OTOH I'm more and more convinced on Subversion+SVK.
