Check all modules out as subdirs of '.', including the Perl script.  Then
'cvs update .'.

Alternatively, use loginfo to keep a group shared area updated for the
dependencies ( http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC173 ).  As long
as you have your PERLLIB variable or whatever it was set right, things
should work.
