- SVN::Notify is a perl module that you can install.
- commit-email.pl is a script that comes with Subversion source code. You
can keep this file anywhere you want. For example, you can copy the file to
the hooks/ directory.

You don't need to use both. You choose any one of the above. And then call
either commit-email.pl or svnnotify in the post-commit hook script. Please
read about the hook scripts in the svn book (link provided in yesterday's
email).
