Did you file a bug report? Don't worry, I already did (#3340036).
I was about to do but I am a Perl5 Porter before OS X user so @perl.org had precedence. Plus it is in the middle of the change of the season (rainy -> summer) and I always get cold during then. Cold won before I file the report. Thanks for moving so quickly.
Do you think I did this on purpose? I hope not.
Not at all. If I were you I'd have fallen in the same pit. And I am rather glad we have found this problem before Panther matures to adulthood.
Do you think this has never happened before? No, Perl 5.6.0 on Jaguar and previous had the same problem with CVS (no -ko option) and only now was it ever noticed. And in the several months since I inherited Perl (actually asked for it), I would have fixed it if I had known.
That was the conclusion I have reached; Perl 5.6.0 has far less modules and most modules hardcoded $VERSION so it went unnoticed.
I think it is a good timing to introduce what Ilya has mentioned.

Better solution is to use FreeBSD's patches for CVS to support custom revision tags. This solves this problem nicely by allowing several maintainers to have their own revision tags in same source code.
For examples snippet from /usr/src/crypto/openssh/ssh-agent.c
RCSID("$OpenBSD: ssh-agent.c,v 1.97 2002/06/24 14:55:38 markus Exp $");
RCSID("$FreeBSD: src/crypto/openssh/ssh-agent.c,v 1.2.2.8 2002/07/03 22:11:43 des Exp $");
I would love to see the $Darwin$ tags!

Sorry, I don't usually get personal, but tone of this message seemed inappropriate to me.
And here is my apology for the tone of my voice. Well, I have cold to blame (my nasal cavity is so stuffy that I should have literally stood in a way of frontal lobe of my cerebrum).
Nevertheless, consider this problem fixed for final Panther.
I am 80% proud and 20% scared to see my codes become a part of the most popular *NIX available today. Keep going!
