in thread Cava Packager quick question

in my script I have '--install' option and the code determines if we are .exe or .pl and then writes to Registry '$0' or 'wperl $0'

Of course it is not a problem, but now it is less flexible because I had to define the application's name in configuration file.

    1) If $0 is wrong, its a bug/deficiency in cava packager, submit a bug report

    2) usually registry entries are handled by installer programs

    3) This is a flexible workaround 

    $ cat myregular.pl
use MySuperApp;
MySuperApp->run;

$ cat mypackedapp.pl
BEGIN {
    use Cava::Pack;
    $0 = $Cava::Pack::EXEPATH;
}

use MySuperApp;
MySuperApp->run;
