You never connect to a file, such as /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd. You need to connect to a host:port combination. As for Net::IMAP, I tried this module and it have a lot of bugs (malformed POD giving compilation error and a few other) which made it unusable for me. This module have not been updated since 1999 so I think it is pretty much stale.
Depending on what you need to do, CPAN should be able to provide you with another module. I use IMAP::Admin from CPAN (which is NOT the same as the module shipped with Cyrus) and it work for me (setting ACL and quota, creating/deleting/renaming mailbox, etc). I made quite a few mods in this module which I will send to the maintainer so you can expect a new version of this modules in the coming months.
