Hello,
I have been trying to create an exe file of a Perl script and am using PerlApp which comes with ActiveState's PDK 5.0.

I'm using PerlApp to pack a .pl file along with text files and .pm's 
perlapp myscript.pl --add mypm.pm --bind mytextfile.txt[text,extract,f
+ile=c:\test,mode=0777]
--tmpdir c:\mycurrentdir

[download]
Suppose we set the --tmpdir option to the current folder in which we have the .exe file.Once we run the .exe file,
the text files packed with the .exe get extracted in a temp folder inside the current folder in this way: 
c:\mycurrentdir\pdk-username-856877

[download]
the process id gets appended to the folder name.So my .pl script cant find the text files , since it searches only
the current folder and not any sub folders inside it.

Suppose I use stmts like this to open mytextfile.txt in myscript.pl 
       
open TF,'>mytextfile.txt' or die $!;

[download]
Can we make the .pl script search for mytextfile.txt in all sub folders inside the current folder as well(mycurrentdir)
instead of just searching the current folder?
Thanks in advance.
:)
