We develop web interfaces and would like a release string displayed on the web 
page.  This information must be read real time.

We need to obtain information that would normally be provided by 'svn info'.  
The page, the apache user, does not have access to this program, but he can 
read the project’s .svn/entries file.  We can guess at the information needed 
but was wondering if the format is published.  Strictly an ro affair.  (saw a 
previous nanny post)

The env/server is Linux/apache.  There are a hundred ways to do this, but 
allowing perl to read this file seems easiest.

Admin will not allow apache user access to svn.

Also, is there something outside the svn application, a ‘working directory 
only’ version of svn info, (svninfo?), that we could use to obtain local 
working directory “info”.  This would not require the security demanded by svn 
proper and would save us from having to read this file.
