Hiya
I'd like to make a self extracting installation program using PAR.
Basically, what I have is a little program that I want to install (on
Win32) that requires a couple of registry changes, a file to be renamed,
an exe (that is itself a par'd perl script) putting into %WINDIR%, and a
.html file writing out.
What I'd like to be able to do is say something like the following:
Use PAR $0;
#Init code here
Sub do_install {
#We are going to extract our files and install them now..
my $bin = PAR::read_file('data/server.exe');
open(BIN, ">$WINDIR/server.exe") or return(1);
print BIN, $bin;
close(BIN);
my $bin = PAR::read_file('data/page.html');
open(BIN, ">$WINDIR/page.html") or return(1);
print BIN, $bin;
close(BIN);
return(0);
}
However, as $0 is a pp packed executable (and not just a par file), this
doesn't work.. Is there any cunning way to get round this / get acces to
the raw .par file for a fully pp'd program?
Thanks in advance
