What type of "error" are you getting? Is the script running, but not giving you the results you expect (i.e., it rejects a commit that it should accept or visa versa), or is the script erroring out with a message?
I'm looking at the code, and I really don't see an issue with periods in the name since user names are white space separated. However, it could be due to an error in the module "Config::IniFiles". Have you tried running the script by hand to see what you get? Have you tried adding a few debug lines in the script to see why the user ID isn't what you expect? This hook script has been replaced by the "svnperms.py" script, a Python script. Have you tried that script. If you prefer a Perl script, you're also welcome to try my configuration script which I wrote to specifically replace the commit-access-control.pl script. You can get that here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/433257/hooks.zip. This does work with periods in the user names.
