OO Perl. In both pre- and post-commit hooks I need the list of files, the
author and other similar information. My idea was to define a class and
create an instance of that class given either the transaction number adn
repository path or the revision number and the repository URL. The 'new'
function will then initialise all the information I need calling either
svnlook or svn. For instance:

name that would encompass both, and that's what I'm asking the list.

Sounds like you're duplicating the Subversion Hook Framework.
