Hi all, I'm new in perl. I just want to read a file on svn repository.

The doc (SVN::Client) says :

$ctx->cat(\*FILEHANDLE, $target, $revision, $pool); Outputs the content of the file identified by $target and $revision to the FILEHANDLE. FILEHANDLE is a reference to a filehandle.

When I put \*STDOUT it works. But I want to put the content of the $target to an array. I searched few hours on internet to find any example without success :(. With this code I have this error message : Bareword "FILE" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at script.pl line 16. Execution of script.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use 5.014;
use strict;
use warnings;
use SVN::Client;


my $ctx = new SVN::Client(
          auth => [SVN::Client::get_simple_provider(),
          SVN::Client::get_simple_prompt_provider(\&simple_prompt,2),
          SVN::Client::get_username_provider()]
          );


$ctx->cat(FILE, 'http://127.0.0.1/file.txt','HEAD');
my @text = <FILE>;


sub simple_prompt {
  my $cred = shift;
  my $realm = shift;
  my $default_username = shift;
  my $may_save = shift;
  my $pool = shift;

  print "Enter authentication info for realm: $realm\n";
  print "Username: ";
  my $username = <>;
  chomp($username);
  $cred->username($username);
  print "Password: ";
  my $password = <>;
  chomp($password);
  $cred->password($password);
}

Thanks a lot!
