Re: How to get the failure message of the svn checkout command using system(command) in perl

Try

   my $response = qx{svn checkout $svnPath $targetPath 2>&1};
[download]

This will return both svn's streams (STDOUT and STDERR) to $response which can be examined afterwards - at least on Unixish systems.
Another option would be IPC::Open3 (separte access to STDOUT and STDERR) or one of the CPAN svn frontends, e.g. SVN::Agent, SVN::Friendly::Client (although I've never used one of these before).
