mod_perl 2.0 checks out these two subtrees from different cvs reps:
httpd-test/perl-framework/Apache-Test
modperl-docs/src/docs/2.0/

by simply using aliases in CVSROOT/modules:

apachetest-alias    -d Apache-Test httpd-test/perl-framework/Apache-Test
modperl-docs-alias  -d docs modperl-docs/src/docs/2.0/
modperl-2.0         modperl-2.0 &apachetest-alias &modperl-docs-alias

so when you check out modperl-2.0 you get the other two aliases checked out.

but notice that this checkout doesn't prevent you from changing files in 
it, as it's not really a copy, but a real checked out version.
