perl CPAN: Cvs - object oriented interface to the CVS command
Cvs - Object oriented interface to the CVS command - metacpan.org
It also has a nice module_list method. I would love to know, how to that on the command line outside this module.

how to list all "projects" in a CVS repository
We achieve that enquiry using the below recipe.
The (files and) directories below the project root are called projects.
Now here is the recipe:
It is a simulated update of the repository root.
I got this recipe from here.
The (files and) directories below the project root are called projects.
Now here is the recipe:
# First check out (non-recursively, i.e. "locally" (= "-l"))You may want to get rid of that auxiliary location again; I personally keep ~/cvswork/Temp "permanently", so I can always run the above "cvs -n update -d" in there.
# the root "project" of the repository (i.e. ".")
# to some auxiliary location (e.g. Temp, CAVEAT: checkout's "-d" does not take absolute pathnames),
# so we have the necessary metadata in CVS/:
$ cd ~/cvswork
$ cvs -d ROOTDIR checkout -l -d Temp .
# Then simulate an "update with directories only" of that folder:
$ cd ~/cvswork/Temp
$ cvs -n update -d # create directories / dry run
It is a simulated update of the repository root.
I got this recipe from here.

The Pragmatic Bookshelf: Pragmatic Version Control using CVS
The Pragmatic Bookshelf | Pragmatic Version Control using CVS
A customer of mine still uses CVS, I would love to own this PDF e-book; I asked them on the forum on that book [Link], whether there is a way to get the e-book [Link]. Update: I got it as a gift from them.
You can find the paper book on Amazon Marketplace as used book and also on eBay for awfully little money.
I really love the recipes in appendix A.2.

CVS Tools (sourceforge)
CVS Tools - Utilities for adminitrators and end users
- cvsstat.pl – format the output of cvs stat -v to a more informative tree-like listing from where you can see development lines and branches.
- cvsup.sh – format the output of cvs update to see only relevant messages. Modifications, errors and conflicts etc. are reported, otherwise the output is quiet. Helps updating large trees and seing only what's important.
- cvsed.pl – a general tool to change ("edit") CVS repository file contents CVS/Root and CVS/Repository easily. In fact this program can change any file recursively, so it's not just for CVS.
