Vic,

The instructions are in the accompanying cvs.info* files that should 
have been generated as a result of the make. Info files are 
documentation files that are read via emacs. You can do a search of 
"AlternateInfo" to find documentation relevant to this feature. 

The perl script gets called because it is configured to in the 
commitinfo file. The docs referred to above describe this mechanism.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Chuck
