[p4] syntax for checkout in perl script

[Jeff A. Bowles]

I am not sure what the exact question was - do you want to retrieve the
reference content from the server to compare against the local copy, or to
check out (making writable and ready to submit) the file?
If the first case, from a script, consider one of two options:

   1. "p4  diff  file"  (there is a flag that says, force a diff for every
   file, regardless of whether the file is opened)...
   2. ... or, from your script, run "p4 print  file" and compare the output
   of this command against the local version.
