[wpkg-users] Ugly perl script to check if packages are installed on a set of workstations.

[Falko Trojahn]

Hello Gerd,

> Your report.pl is not ugly, it's pretty pretty!
>
> Works fine for me after adjusting the locations, even if perl -W
(v5.8.8) is saying: "Using a hash as a reference is deprecated".
>
> BTW. If I copy the statusfiles to a share using a wpkg-package like
http://wpkg.org/Viewing_software_installed_on_workstations , I always
get the status *before* the last execution of wpkg.js. Perhaps the
better way ist to define an additional action to execute after wpkg.js.
>
you could use the post-execution script in WPKG Client ("execute after"),
or an "xcopy ..." line in your "wpkg-start.bat".
