We talked about this a bit offline and I'd like to clarify a few of my
points alluded to and
to try and clarify his question a bit....

As I stated place the scripts with the appropriate names at the
appropriate path and they will be called
by the subversion server.
In the directory <Your repository>/hooks, ON THE SERVER place an
executable with one of the 5
defined names:
post-commit
post-revprop-change
pre-commit
pre-revprop-change
start-commit
On windows they would be *.EXE or *.BAT.
My question was:
"IF my windows machine is configured such that I, from a command line
can type "foo.pl" and have
windows automagically know it's a perl script and call perl with this
script as a parameter"
THAN does it follow that I can
place a 'pre-commit.pl' in the hooks directory and have it execute
OR Must I have a pre-commit..BAT that calls my pre-commit.pl' ?

As I said, look at the .tmpl files in the above mentioned directory.
They Tell you what parameters each script is called with, this in
non-negotiable.
The 'client' is not really part of the picture.
Look at "pre-commit.tmpl"
# The pre-commit hook is invoked before a Subversion txn is
# committed. Subversion runs this hook by invoking a program
# (script, executable, binary, etc.) named 'pre-commit' (for which
# this file is a template), with the following ordered arguments:
#
# [1] REPOS-PATH (the path to this repository)
# [2] TXN-NAME (the name of the txn about to be committed)
That is what you get for your 2 command line parameters in this case.
any other info you need will need to come from subversion itself and the
assumption is this is enough unique
info to look up any other details.
