Inline::Java Usage: _Inline/ directory creation

bhaskar_narla has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have created a Perl script(which internally uses Inline::Java) to expose Java services.

The problem currently I am facing this setup is the following.

Whenever a user access this script, it is creating a _Inline/ directory under bin/ (and at multiple locations if the internal module is used in some other script). I see if the user has .Inline directory at his home location, it won't create this directory. But, in my case I can't ask all the users to create this directory at their home location.

Is there a way so that the _Inline directory creation can happen at one place always?

Please see Inline for the documentation on the Inline Directory. Also, searching for "_Inline" in Inline::Java yields the same information. As the module author is a frequent contributor here, maybe you can also tell us how the documentation of Inline could be restructured so that you would have found this information more readily.

I have already used DIRECTORY option and this is also didn't stop the _Inline/ directory creation.	[reply]

I have already used DIRECTORY option and this is also didn't stop the _Inline/ directory creation That shouldn't happen. How did you specify the DIRECTORY option ? Either: `use Inline Config => DIRECTORY => 'home/me/here'; or use Inline Java => Config => DIRECTORY => '/home/me/here';` [download] should have the desired effect - though I can't check properly as I don't have Inline::Java.

From the Inline::Java documentation: You can specify Inline::Java options by setting the proper environment variables, and you can also set the _Inline directory by using the PERL_INLINE_JAVA_DIRECTORY environment variable.	[reply]

I went through the FAQ and the following. In fact as long as you don't have ~/.Inline/ defined, Inline will create a new ./_Inline directory. As per above statement, it expects either .Inline or _Inline directory at home location. Otherwise, it will create _Inline/ directory.	[reply]

In fact as long as you don't have ~/.Inline/ defined, Inline will create a new ./_Inline directory That behaviour should not occur if DIRECTORY is specified. (And the documentation will be modified to make that clear.) If you've specified a DIRECTORY in the script and the _Inline directory is still being created then either you didn't specify DIRECTORY correctly, or there's a bug - and a simple script that demos the bug would be helpful.
