perl hooks
So here is the thing.
I have a perl script. It is running OK from command line
But when I execute the script from hook (I run in command line svn
commit...) nothing happens.
Why ?????

This can't work because the hook is run on the server which is normally on a
different computer or at least a different user. The only thing you can do is
to output error messages on STDERR. Note that this is only working for pre-*
scripts.

When I changed that the script will become exe (perl2exe) all worked
out.
Now I added perl GUI. I want a messagebox to be poped out.
When I run the hook, the script get stuck, no messagebox shown no OK
button to continue.

Hook scripts run without your normal PATH setup, so commands in your
script
can't be found unless you give a complete path to the command. The SVN
book
has a nice description of how it all works and why it's this way.

You really want a client side hook then and there are security issues
with those. If your users have Tortoise then you can have client side
hooks in that which could open a dialog box but it wouldn't work for the

Send the message to STDERR instead of STDOUT and exit with a
non-zero exit status. The client then gets to decide what it
wants to do. Tortoise shows an error window.
(Success windows are out, afaik - no "thank you for your
submission"-window... ;-))

You can't show a message box, because the hooks run on the server. Who's there to see them?

Because on a Windows server, your pre-commit script must be
pre-commit.bat, pre-commit.exe or pre-commit.cmd. IOW, it must be an
executable, or a Windows batch file/CMD script which then calls your
Perl script.

Or append to a log file and 'tail -f' on the server to monitor it.
Or use a jabber client* to send alerts back to a multi-user chat (or
a specific user).

This is a mailing list of volunteers. You are not guaranteed a
response in a set amount of time - or at all, for that matter. If no
one has an answer, sending the same question many times will not cause
one to be magically created.
Your posts didn't even appear in my inbox till this morning. If
everyone else on the list had the same experience, they couldn't have
replied. If you're in doubt about whether a post made it to the list,
check the archives a few hours after you send it.

Hook scripts are not interactive. Using a GUI library is a waste of
your time and may be counterproductive. Send your message to STDERR
and it will go back to the client AND stop the commit from happening.
You cannot produce a "warning" in the pre-commit hook - if you send
output back to the client, it WILL fail the transaction.
If you need to send a "warning" while allowing the hook to end
successfully, send an email. "How do I send email in a Perl script?"
is outside the scope of this mailing list but there are plenty of Perl
hook scripts you can find via Google which may serve as examples.

You can't show a message box, because the hooks run on the server. Who's there to see them?

Fine, the reason to all those messages is that I got no answer for the
whole day long, and this is the reason I opened so many questions, sorry
for the trouble.
Next,
I changed the Perl script to be .exe file. YEEPEE it works.
Now I want a message to be sent to the committer. Most of the people
here use Tortoise, but even with command line, I want a message to be
outputted not only to a log file but also to the standard output and the
Tortoise window.
What I was trying to do is to use Perl\Tk which is the Perl GUI library,
and to show the user a message box with the warning. This only got my
client to get stuck and the commit to fail, and many other problems,
because there was no message window to the user.
How do I send messages as output of the hook?

Because on a Windows server, your pre-commit script must be
pre-commit.bat, pre-commit.exe or pre-commit.cmd. IOW, it must be an
executable, or a Windows batch file/CMD script which then calls your
Perl script.

This is a mailing list of volunteers. You are not guaranteed a
response in a set amount of time - or at all, for that matter. If no
one has an answer, sending the same question many times will not cause
one to be magically created.
Your posts didn't even appear in my inbox till this morning. If
everyone else on the list had the same experience, they couldn't have
replied. If you're in doubt about whether a post made it to the list,
check the archives a few hours after you send it.

Hook scripts are not interactive. Using a GUI library is a waste of
your time and may be counterproductive. Send your message to STDERR
and it will go back to the client AND stop the commit from happening.
You cannot produce a "warning" in the pre-commit hook - if you send
output back to the client, it WILL fail the transaction.
If you need to send a "warning" while allowing the hook to end
successfully, send an email. "How do I send email in a Perl script?"
is outside the scope of this mailing list but there are plenty of Perl
hook scripts you can find via Google which may serve as examples.

Please make sure you send replies to the entire list...
I assume you are talking about "svnlook cat" and not "svnlook cut".
Where are you outputting this file? If you are sending the output to a
program that may use HTML commands, you might find that it recognizes
the "<" and ">" as HTML tag markers and ignore their contents. If this
is the case, you must convert "<" to "<" before sending it to the
program and ">" to >".
There shouldn't be any reason you to have this problem if you are
printing the output to a file or to the console window.
