Hi Jerry, Looks like your post got buried inside this thread :) > I would like to ultimately wind up with an MVC organization.

Looks like you are the right track in refactoring your code. Replacing the old-school giant if/else block with a proper dispatch solution like CGI::application is definitely the right move. As for source code control, might I suggest subversion over CVS. They use the same basic underlying principles but subversion seems to be much more mature and robust (although I haven't looked at CVS in over 10 years, so perhaps things have changed for the better). Also, a lot of people swear by 'git' so it would be worth a look as well. Good luck in your endeavors...
