Hello,
It appears that cvsweb has some issues with Perl 5.18 (5.14 works fine).
Specifically, it errors out with a slew of syntax errors when invoked
from Apache:

10.3.254.229:58703] AH01215: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/cvsweb has too many
errors.
As a result, cvsweb produces an HTTP 500 error when accessed from a web
browser.
The NetBSD folks have worked around this by changing two lines in
cvsweb:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/www/cvsweb/patches/patch-cvsweb.cgi.diff?r1=1.1.2.1&r2=1.1.2.2&f=h
The below patch does the same thing and is based on the version of
cvsweb that is included in the Debian package:
--- cvsweb.orig 2013-12-24 09:58:09.333520125 -0500
+++ cvsweb 2013-12-24 09:58:50.222171067 -0500
