If it was being done in bash:
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/verifymsg contains:
testcvsmodule /myscripts/verify.sh


/myscripts/verify.sh contains:
#! /bin/bash
#$1 will be the name of the comment file
if head -2 < $1 | tail -1 | grep "PCR#:" > /dev/null;
then
  echo "I am analysing your PCR#"
else
  echo " "
  echo "Not using the form I see."
  echo " "
  exit 1
fi

so in perl I would think:

$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/verifymsg contains:
testcvsmodule /myscripts/verify.pl

/myscripts/verify.pl contains:
#! /usr/bin/perl
$PATH_AND_FILENAME="$ARGV[0]";
open (SOURCE_FILE,$PATH_AND_FILENAME) || die "Unable to open 
$PATH_AND_FILENAME for input.\nerror indicated was ($!).\n";
$MYCOUNTER=0;
while ($LINE = <SOURCE_FILE>)
  {
    $MYCOUNTER=$MYCOUNTER+1;
    $START_INDEX = index($LINE,"PCR#:");
    if ($MYCOUNTER == 2)
    {
        if ($START_INDEX != -1)
         {
                print "I am analysing your PCR#\n";
         }
        else
         {
                print " \n";
                print "Not using the form I see.\n";
                print " \n";
                exit 1;
         }
     }
 }

does the same thing.

of course I assume someone has done
chmod +x /myscripts/verify.pl /myscripts/verify.sh
