Hi

I got the requirement to fix a script which automatically commits a huge list of regex-matched files into SVN on a daily basis.

My clients idea is that he can't trust his "programmers" to do it manually. (please don't ask)

The Perl script is rather messy, uses run3 to call CLI commands and regularly fails on locked files from interrupted commits("cleanup" necessary) or time stamp conflicts (i.e. someone copied an older version in place) and other things.

I'm wondering if someone already solved this requirement in a reliable way, preferably on CPAN, helping me to avoid reinventing a wheel or fixing this polygonal pseudo-wheel.

FWIW: I already suggested to additionally use GIT for skilled disciplined developers!

Please avoid bashing me for the requirements of my client... ;-)

Cheers Rolf
