=>      I'm trying to restrict the check-in of files into CVS based on
=>the length of the filename using commitinfo file; but to no success. 
=>I'm stuck with how to go about calling the script (written in perl) from
=>the commitinfo file? 
=>Any ideas? Thanks for your help in advance.

In your commitinfo file, just say

ALL     /path/to/script/check_fnlen


NOT TESTED
#! /bin/bash
typeset -ir MAXALLOWEDLEN=32
typeset -r fn=${1##*/}
(( ${#fn} < $MAXALLOWEDLEN ))
exit
