Do they need to be physical files or do you just need the data to tag along somewhere? If you just need the data the, you could have a helper script that takes the files in the source tree and sticks them at the bottom of your main module after __DATA__, or in a My::App::Data module after __DATA__, or as string constants, possibly uuencoded (cf. `perldoc pack`), etc. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
