$ENV{TERMCAP} = "something"; sets the the TERMCAP environment variable, but I'm guessing you're asking *what* to set it to.

Update:

Nasty kludge? 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Term::Cap;

my $PortName = 'MyPort';
if (scalar(@ARGV)) {
    $PortName = $ARGV[0];
}

my $remote = "/etc/remote";
my $tmp_rem = "/tmp/remote.$$";

open (REMOTE, $remote) || die "Can't read '$remote': $!\n";
open (TMPREM, "> $tmp_rem") || die "Can't write to: '$tmp_rem': $!\n";
while(<REMOTE>) {
    s/$/:/ if /tc=[^:]+$/;
    print TMPREM;
}
close(TMPREM);
close(REMOTE);

$ENV{TERMPATH} = $tmp_rem;

my $terminal = Tgetent Term::Cap { TERM => $PortName, OSPEED => 9600};

print $terminal->Tgoto('dv', "", "",), $/;

unlink($tmp_rem);
