If you just like to have the project version coded as tag, i.e. it's SVN URL
looks like this:
     svn://host/project_name/tags/version5.39/...
(Protocol could vary)
then just do something like this:

Set the svn:keywords property to 'URL' to include the URL and write something
like this into your Perl scripts:

my $version = ( '$URL$' =~ m{/tags/version(.*?)/} && $1 );
or
(my $version = '$URL$') =~ s{.*/tags/version(.*?)/.*}{$1};
or
my $version = ( '$URL$' =~ m{/tags/version(.*?)/} ) ? $1 : undef;

The $URL$ is of course expanded in your Perls script.

Drawbacks:
 - You need a consistant tagging system
 - Works only if you build the checked-out tagged version not a branch or the
trunk

I hope this helps you,
Martin

or some
