VCI: The Version Control Interface for Perl

Hello, and welcome to the (currently minimal) homepage for VCI!

VCI is a Perl library that provides a uniform way of accessing all the different version-control systems out there in the world, without having to re-write your code every time you want to work with a new version-control system. It also greatly simplifies the process of working with a version-control system in Perl.

Version Control Systems (VCS) are also sometimes called Software Configuration Management (SCM) or Revision Control Systems (RCS).

VCI is provided by BugzillaSource.
