Er... not quite.  CVS is Concurrent Versioning System, an open source 
revision control system.  CSV is Comma Separated Values, a common file 
format.  The library in stdlib is for the latter of these, though even 
that has replacements, including most notably FasterCSV.

I am not aware of any other CVS manipulation libraries for Ruby, as I 
usually use SVN.
