I'm cutting off your script here because it points out the crux of the
problem. You're running on Windows. On Windows, Subversion hooks must
be EXE, BAT or CMD files (the source specifically looks for these
extensions because they don't require an inter. A Perl script will not
execute directly.
The workaround is to create a pre-commit.bat calls the Perl
interpreter & script, and passes the arguments (%1, %2, etc.) into the
Perl script. It'll also have to pass anything returned by your script
back to the user.
