Hi all,

I have a script that I'm working on - that thanks to all of you fine people here, works really well for what I'm looking to do. :D

What it does is read the current directory structure, strip out the CVS files and spit out a list to a file. It then reads that file back in, and does a 'cvs co $f' on each line.

The way I'm looping it is as such:

    
    foreach my $f (@state2) {
        print "File is $f\n"; # swap this with cvs co command
        `cvs co $f`;
    }

What I'd like to add to this is to have the loop run a 'cvs log filename.xx' on each file read, checkout the file if it exists in CVS, and spit back a small blurb saying "File: filename.xx does not exist in CVS tree".

If I do a 'cvs log ccrutil.pl' (the script i'm writing) I get the following: 
$ cvs log ccrutil.pl

RCS file: /home/cvs/d600/ccrtest/ccrutil.pl,v
Working file: ccrutil.pl

I say this every time, but it needs mentioning: I'm very, very new at this and 99% of what I know comes google, O'Reilley books and the slew of questions that you guys have been kind enough to help me out with. :)

Any insight is as always very, very much appreciated. Thanks!
