SVN question

Hello,

I have been wondering how best to capture errors from
the SVN command line.

I wanted to show you how a basic test is failing.

Consider the simple code snippet:
==========================================
use strict;
my $options=" --username builduser --password XXXX";

chdir("C:\\source");
my $output = `svn update --depth=infinity mang $options`;

die "svn failed with errorcode $?" if $?;
print "We survived!\n";
==========================================

This command works if the "mang" above is changed to "main"
(which does exist at c:\source).

However, both code have this result:
==========================================
C:\source\cm\script>perl svntest.pl
We survived!

C:\source\cm\script>perl svntest.pl
We survived!
==========================================

What am I doing wrong?

Chris
