CVS runs as the user destined as the 'local user' in the
repository's password. This can be the same user as the one who's
account your doing your tests with, or any 'ghost' user that doesn't
have a specific login that sets the PERLLIB.

Please check your password file, and setup the env of that user correctly,
or make the PERLLIB setting standard for all users, or, even better,
incorporate the perl scripts in a standard place under perl or under
/usr/bin.
