I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Creation of par-xxxx directory
Hi Phil,

On Windows, after exiftool.exe is started for the very first time, "par-User" directory is created inside Temp directory. This "par-User" directory contains "cache-exiftool-n.nn" directory, which, again, contains Exiftool related files.
What happens when newer version (than allready present on PC) is running for the first time:
A: complete (old) "cache-exiftool-n.nn" is deleted and new content is generated,
B: "cache-exiftool-n.nn" directory is renamed and only relevant content is replaced.

Thanks for answering,
Bogdan
