SVNLook in Perl Script - Help!

[Tyler-54]

I am very new to both Subversion and Perl, but I need to write a post-commit hook script in Perl to copy changes made in commits to another directory. What I'm stuck on is calling svnlook in my perl script to discover any changes. This is the code I have to do this specific part:

############################
($repos, $txn) = @ARGV;
print $repos . " " . $txn;
$txn = "-t $txn";
 
$svn_output = '$svnlook changed $txn $repos';
print $svn_output;
############################

I have $svnlook defined to the full path of svnlook.exe, and there are no errors. When I execute the script, nothing seems to happen with svn, and '$svnlook changed $txn $repos' is literally printed to the command line.

What I really need is some beginner help with calling svnlook changed in a perl script, I can't seem to figure this out.

You probably mean for these to be backticks (`) instead of single
quotes (').
