Dear tirwhan,
Let me make myself clear again. Please bear with me. Suppose I have the following directory which contain a file (myperlcode.pl) which I want to store them with SVN. 
  ~/MyPerl
     |
     |__Project1
           |
           |__ myperlcode.pl


Note: ~/ = home/neversaint

Following your advice what I tried to do is following steps.

Step 1: Creating a subversion main repository and repository related to Project1 
home/neversaint $ mkdir subversion
home/neversaint $ cd subversion
home/neversaint/subversion $ svnadmin create Project1

[download]
Listing them: 
home/neversaint/subversion $ cd Project1
home/neversaint/subversion/Project1 $ ls
README.txt  conf  dav  db  format  hooks  locks

[download]
Step 2: Attempting to create empty repository 
home/neversaint/subversion $ cd ~/MyPerl/Project1
home/neversaint/MyPerl/Project1 $ svn import . file:///~/subversion/Pr
+oject1
                                                 ^
                                                 |
Note: did I get this right? ---------------------|

Now, at this point I encounter problem with this message: 
svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider<br> 
setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the 
--message (-m) or --file (-F) options
svn: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or 
EDITOR is set, and no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was 
found

Is there anything wrong with my steps above? Did I misunderstood your advice above? Hope to hear from you again.
