I think all are auto-installed by default. Run Bash via System > Accessories > Terminal (This is the Bash prompt).

You can type 'perl' for Perl, 'cvs' for CVS, 'zip' for ZIP and so on (Without quotes, of course).

Also try typing any of the above mentioned commands and hit the Tab button once or twice to see the other commands for configuring or using it.

Again, everything you've mentioned in your title comes pre-installed with Ubuntu.

But if not, just do:

In Terminal:
sudo apt-get install cvs perl sed bash zip

Can you help with this problem?
