Perl API SVN::Ra::get_commit_editor2 causes TypeError

2010-07-09 Thread Markus Kuhn
I'm trying to commit a file modification in a Subversion repository from within a Perl CGI script, and the Perl SVN:Ra API looks like the right tool for doing that, but I have early on run into a problem: Using subversion-perl-1.5.7 (from openSUSE Linux 11.1), the test program #!/usr/bin/perl use
