[PAR_TEMP]

What is your concept for getting rid of old PAR_TEMP locations once you get (or 
create) an updated version of the application or just stop using it?

My simple concept is not to hide the unpacking but tell the users the truth:

There is a bunch of files needed to run the Perl application, and if you
don't use it anymore, you need to remove it.

I decided to use the PAR packager only to collect the needed files but
not to use it's runtime magic.

You find an extraction tool at

My primitive launcher is here:

If you want to provide an uninstaller, use Inno Setup, NSIS,
InstallShield or something similar for a clean solution.
