I've search both perl path and CVS installation path (it ought to be in CVS
installation path), no found.
I have a feeling I might miss some perl module that specific to CVS except
nowhere in the documents mention this module.
Would you mind passing a copy of this cvs_loginfo_html.pl file,
cvs_loginfo.pl will be fine too. Thank you.

I think the script logonfo*.pl MUST BE in the path ... and it works well ..
for me (CVS server on W2K server with NNTP/IIS)
except the URL on my CVSWEB server (always empty = the perl script
cvs_loginfo_html.pl can't access variables in cfgmgmt::Globals ???)
note: the name of the newsgroup must be "engineering.checkins"

Thanks for the comments.
I didn't mean really copy file into CVSROOT when I said 'copy', was really
through the check out/check in process or I won't even get this far. Sorry
for the confusion.
More specifically, the instruction I was trying to follow is from:
http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm#loginfo
Where it says:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
18
a..
1.. Copy the loginfo file to C:\sandbox\CVSROOT
2.. Follow the instructions for installing the DevGuy tools (particularly,
the ActivePerl installation, perl_lib.tar.gz, and perl.tar.gz) -- and pay
attention to the instructions regarding the Globals.pm file
a.. There are four versions to choose from. The HTML versions represent
the latest development effort. All versions include links to CVSWeb.
b.. There are two plain-text versions:
a.. Use this version to post plain-text to a newsgroup
b.. Use this version to send plain-text email (SMTP)
c.. There are two HTML versions:
a.. Use this version to post HTML to a newsgroup
b.. Use this version to send HTML email (SMTP)
a.. Please also refer to the LogInfo Script Configuration
.......
20. Enter cvs commit (this also commits loginfo and notify)
Congratulations! You just committed your first changes!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
The link 'Use this version to post HTML to a newsgroup' takes to this file -
loginfo -
http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/download/loginfo/html_news/loginfo
At the bottom of this file, you will see:
DEFAULT perl -S cvs_loginfo_html.pl "%{sVv}" "$USER"
It appears this file here: cvs_loginfo_html.pl is what really makes the
magic, to post a log to newsgroup nntp server. I am convinced I probably
won't need the notify file, because I just want to find out who is check in
files via newsgroup for now.
I know zero about perl, so it's pretty much almost impossible for me to code
this 'cvs_loginfo_html.pl' program in order to post message to nntp from
cvs.
Anyone mind to spare some hint to me. Thanks.
