Re: pp (PAR-Packer) - how to access included data files

[sectokia]

If you want to get the contents of the file simply do this in your pl program:

use PAR;
my $fileData = PAR::read_file('lex.dict');

I believe this is the only real guaranteed way to get the file data. All other ways would be assuming things about how par unpacks and/or uses temp files, and/or enviroment variables, which are subject to change.
