You already have all the pieces that you need:
- In your root node you show how you get the command line arguments.
- bart showed you how to
- get the pathname of the project.txt file using File::Basename,
- parse the value out of the REVISION_LOCATION: line, and
- turn that filename from relative to absolute using File::Spec's rel2abs, using the pathname of project.txt as the base.
If you're unsure on how to open the project.txt file instead of using the magic while(<>) that bart used, please see "Files and I/O" in perlintro.
Updated wording slightly.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
