Hello,
thanks for the reply.I've read most of the PerlApp docs.I'm using code like this in my .pl 
sub chfile
  {
  .......
  my $datafile = "myfile.txt";
  my $filename = PerlApp::extract_bound_file($datafile);
  die "$datafile not bound to application\n" unless   
  defined $filename;
  my $fh="LEX";
  open($fh,'$filename') or die "Can't open $datafile
  $filename)\n";
  
  while(<LEX>){
  ......

  }
 }

When I create the .exe using PerlApp(I've set --tmpdir to c:\test for the time being) and run it , the exe cannot
open myfile.txt. I keep getting this error: 
Tk:Error:Can't open myfile.txt <c:\test\pdk-myname--121077199/myfile.t
+xt>[\&main::chfile]

What am I doing wrong here? Please help!

Also, I need to write(append words) to myfile.txt when the application is running.I need the .exe to use the
updated version of myfile.txt(with new words appended in the last run) the next time it is invoked.
Is this not possible with PerlApp?
Thanks in advance.
:)
