There are several threads here on this list explaining why you should never manipulate code in a pre-commit-hook script. This is strongly discouraged and may lead to some 'interesting' problems.

You can either check the commit wether it is 'clean' and reject it if not [since you're the only user this is probably overkill] or just use a short script that wraps svn commit and runs PerlTidy prior to the commit command - which is probably what i'd do.
