You can tag sets of files. I often tag a release of a CPAN module
with something like "cvs tag VERSION=0_10" or something.
Unfortunately, one must remember to do this manually AFAIK.
An interesting alternative feature is CVS's history logging
facilities, but I'm sure Perforce has something similar.
Something CVS does which is kinda cute, but not critical, is "cvs
annotate". It produces a listing of the source each line with a stamp
of when it was checked in, what version and by who. We were talking
at the conference about how interesting it would be to have a sort of
Prime Radiant (Second Foundation) for Perl.
