As long as $backup_path and $sicher are defined in the perl script, I
don't see why not. Make sure it is a full path name starting from root.

One thing to do is write your errors to STDERR and then when your run
the script as a hook redirect STDERR to append to a file like so (for a
bash shell).

/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/backup-since-rev.pl "$REPOS" "$REV" \
        2>>/home/sicher/hook-errors
