svn-load-dirs.pl not compatible with ActiveState Perl on Windows. ..

["Yount, Steffen" <SY...@medialinq.com>]

 

Hi,

 

I was hoping to use the "svn-load-dirs.pl" script to assist me in importing
some vendor branches, but I'm running on winXP and win2k and the script
seems to have been written primarily with linux/unix in mind.

 

Have any of you had any success getting svn-load-dirs.pl to run on a windows
platform? Do you have a port of svn-load-dirs.pl for windows? What secrets
do I need to know to get svn-load-dirs.pl to run on windows?

 

FWIW: I've been using the ActiveState Perl distribution and it seems to have
problems with the line:

my $pid = open(SAFE_READ, '-|');

 

Thanks,
