How do I install Perl's SVN::Client?

Question

I want to use the SVN::Client cpan module to check out code from a repository.

But how to install and use this module? The documentation is kind of no existing.

Answer 1

As best I can tell, Alien::SVN and its constituent modules are no longer maintained. The subversion binary it compiles is extremely old (1.4, circa 2006). You may be better off piping to a pre-installed (and up-to-date) binary.
