When I run this command:

   cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvs/private co perlweb/htdocs/dbi

it creates a directory CVS which looks like this:

/Users/metaperl/CVS:
total 32
drwxr-xr-x    6 metaperl  staff   160 Mar 27 07:28 .
drwxr-xr-x  205 metaperl  staff  6926 Mar 27 07:28 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 metaperl  staff     2 Mar 27 07:28 Entries
-rw-r--r--    1 metaperl  staff    16 Mar 27 07:28 Entries.Log
-rw-r--r--    1 metaperl  staff    15 Mar 27 07:28 Repository
-rw-r--r--    1 metaperl  staff    44 Mar 27 07:28 Root


but I already have a CVSROOT as my CVS setup is this:

# CVS

setenv CVSROOT /Users/metaperl/cvsroot


and the place where I check things out from this directory is /Users/metaperl/src

so how can I check things out from the cvs.perl.org repository and have it add to my CVSROOT
directory /Users/metaperl/cvsroot instead of creating /Users/metaperl/CVS? And I assume the
directory perlweb will simply be created wherever I am, so I simply need to be cd'ed to
/Users/metaperl/src whenever I run whatever command you tell me to.
