Use $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/loginfo to fire off a Perl script to checkout
the file that was just checked in. You probably want something like
this:

DEFAULT /path/to/checkout.pl $CVSROOT %s

(Passing $CVSROOT isn't totally necessary, but it lets you
generalize your checkout script more easily.)

You should, of course, read the documentation. This might be a good
place to start:
