RE: perl hooks

You can't show a message box, because the hooks run on the server. Who's there to see them?

Fine, the reason to all those messages is that I got no answer for the
whole day long, and this is the reason I opened so many questions, sorry
for the trouble.

Next,
I changed the Perl script to be .exe file. YEEPEE it works.
Now I want a message to be sent to the committer. Most of the people
here use Tortoise, but even with command line, I want a message to be
outputted not only to a log file but also to the standard output and the
Tortoise window.

What I was trying to do is to use Perl\Tk which is the Perl GUI library,
and to show the user a message box with the warning. This only got my
client to get stuck and the commit to fail, and many other problems,
because there was no message window to the user.

How do I send messages as output of the hook?

Because on a Windows server, your pre-commit script must be
pre-commit.bat, pre-commit.exe or pre-commit.cmd. IOW, it must be an
executable, or a Windows batch file/CMD script which then calls your
Perl script.

BTW, you seem to have posted a large number of messages on this one
topic today. Please consider carefully before posting, and post your
complete message all at once. If you must "continue" a topic, please
reply to your original post, such that it all appears in one
discussion thread.
