On approximately 7/10/2004 11:41 AM, came the following characters from the keyboard of Dean Arnold:
Is there a scriptable way to locate and delete the temp directory used to cache the perl distro for an executable built with pp ? I don't mean pp -C, as I do want to persist the cache as long as the app is installed. But when the user uninstalls, it would be nice to clean out all those temp files.
Does pp/PAR generate its temp directory name at build time, or at install time ? Or maybe that needs to be added as a command line switch so the user can supply a fixed directory name ? Are there any identifiable crumbs in the temp directory that can be used to identify something as belonging to a specific pp generated application ?
I don't know the "right" way, but your application could leave a specific record of its temp directory in some place that its uninstall routine could later find.
