Dear Monks, I am compiling my scripts using pp on a linux box: 

 pp --output=XYZ --compress=5 --clean XYZ.pl

[download]

Using the --clean option should clean the temporary files it created during execution under /tmp/par-xxxxxx.

When I run:

./XYZ

my executable runs correclty and some temp files are created under /tmp/par-xxxxxxx.

But it does not clean those temp files created when my program finishes. Any ideas how to clean them up after execution?

Thanks Monks, I just ran few tests and realised that --clean works on 'normal' conditions. The temp-xxx is cleaned after normal exit. However, if the script crashed or killed for whatsoever reason, the temp-xxx contents are retained and not cleaned up. So probably have to deal that separately, like, to clean up explicitly in an END block or so...

In reply to pp --clean does not seem to work by hellosarathy
