RE: How to properly URI encode a string?

Thanks everyone for the heads up. I actually found a perl function that will
take care of this for me.

use URI::Escape;
$mystring = uri_escape($mystring);

I also saw a reference to an svn function (svn_path_uri_encode) in the book
but I couldn't get this to work. However, since the perl function works my
problem is solved!

Thanks,

Balazs

The URL encoding for space is %20:

svn import /tmp file:///home/svnroot/Project%20Name -m 'Initial layout'
