Ah, but you did not download commit-email.pl -- you downloaded commit-
email.pl.in. :) .in files need to be pre-processed in some way before
they're used. In this case, you need to edit the file and replace
@SVN_BINDIR@ with the directory where your binaries are actually
installed. Then you can call it commit-email.pl and use it in your
hooks.
