You need to run cvs add from within a sandbox, and it will added to the 
corresponding location in the repository.  Also, adding only marks a 
file for addition.  You need to commit before it will actually be added 
to the repository.

	<< in your sandbox >>
	cvs add foo.pl
	cvs ci -m "adding test file" foo.pl
