This is all fine and dandy, except:
a. Perl is installed, all versions available in ports
b. It worked perfectly fine for over a year, until today.
c. I am not using anything in CVSROOT explicitly. I use the command
``cvs add dir_name'' which worked yesterday and does not work today.
My question still stands (unanswered?): What changed?
