svn_load_dirs.pl error
I am trying to use the svn_load_dirs.pl script. I have downloaded id
from the subversion website and chmod 744 it.
When I do
./svn_load_dirs.pl <URL to branch> . <temp dir>
I get
./svn_load_dirs.pl: ./svn_load_dirs.pl: cannot execute binary file
What's wrong?

According to "man perl", "-w" turns on warnings.
This is not really a Subversion problem at this point. Googling that
error message, I see suggestions like these:
http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-general/2002-
August/003788.html
Off the top of my head: does the file perhaps have the wrong line
endings? Like, DOS line endings when it should have LF line endings?

Ryan,
Thanks for your answer. I have replaced @SVN_BINDIR@ with the proper
directory (/usr/bin/ in my case) but I still have the same problem. Perl
is installed and working. What does the -w mean? I don't know anything
about perl sorry.
ln1sub01 svn> perl -v

If you downloaded svn_load_dirs.pl.in from the Subversion repository,
then you should replace "@SVN_BINDIR@" with the directory where
Subversion is installed on your system, and save the file as
svn_load_dirs.pl.
The first line of the script is "#!/usr/bin/perl -w" which means if
you give svn_load_dirs.pl the execute bit (as you've done with your
chmod command) and try to run it, it will try to run /usr/bin/perl.
Does perl exist and work on your system?
What is your OS? What version of Subversion?
