This is a patch for cvsweb.cgi to remove the use of 'defined' on line 2954.

In cvsweb.cgi on line 2954 it reads:

  if (defined @mytz) {

which causes an error in newer versions of perl including 5.24. I believe t=
he
use of 'defined' is deprecated and no longer supported in current versions =
of
perl. I've modified this to be:

if (@mytz) {

which appears to correct the problem and be the proper syntax. It appears t=
his
was also fixed in other distros, but not FreeBSD's ports tree for cvsweb3 a=
s of
yet.

I'm attaching a diff of the simple change that worked for me. Someone more
experienced might have a different or better solution as I have very little
programming or perl experience.
