The manual is pretty straightforward on this 
(http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.21/cvs_18.html#SEC167 and 
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.21/cvs_18.html#SEC170).

It sounds like you want to do this on all files, so instead of a regex 
you'd use ALL, and your entry should look something like:

ALL /path/to/your/perl/script

followed by any arguments your script needs. CVS will automatically 
append arguments specifying the repository path, files involved, and so on.
