Too tired to think properly, but... demerphq wrote:
Also, something that would be really useful would be a way to force perl to close all files. Ie, to unload all dll's, close any intenral filehandles kept open for __DATA__ and __END__ etc. Then this batch file malarky would be totally unnecessary.
I noticed recently that Steve(?) fixed Dynaloader::dl_unload_file() so that it now on Windows. It /might/ be possible to unload the module & reload it after the copy, but I'm not sure how safe that is...
It would likely have to be done soley inside EU::Install: determine if file about to be copied is locked, unload, copy, reload, pray. Seems too iffy.
I'll try to put more thought into it tomorrow. Randy.
