Re^2: pp (PAR-Packer) - how to access included data files

I wasn't really clear about the use of PAR_TEMP, given the advice not to use it in https://metacpan.org/dist/PAR/view/lib/PAR/Environment.pod .

I finally figured out that "/", which the doc says is the root under which included files are stored, could be computed at runtime by dirname($ENV{PAR_0}) . "/inc".

`dirname($ENV{PAR_0}) . "/inc".` Why you want to go low level when you have this? : `# PAR::read_file() returns a file inside any loaded PARs my $conf = PAR::read_file('data/MyConfig.yaml');` [download] (from SYNOPSIS)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Link to PAR#SYNOPSIS doesn't work :-) Maybe PAR#SYNOPSIS? At any rate, this is the best place to begin learning about pp, rather than https://metacpan.org/pod/pp.	[reply]

I must have overlooked read_file(). Thanks. In my case, the easiest approach was to doctor the @ARGV before processing it, as follows: `if (exists $ENV{PAR_TEMP}){ # running via PAR/pp push @ARGV, "$ENV{PAR_TEMP}/inc/lex.dict"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

The docs could be a bit clearer but my reading is that PAR_TEMP should not be assigned to but is fine to read from. Your approach will still work, though.	[reply]
