Only DLLs are extracted into the "shared" directory.  Bound data files
(and all the Tk graphics images) are always extracted to a "private" temp
directory, regardless of the --clean option.  And the private temp
directory should always be removed on process exit.

As Michael Nacey already mentioned, the file is deleted when the process
exits.  This is the documented behavior:

  PerlApp::extract_bound_file(FILENAME)

    Writes the content of a bound file to the filesystem. The file is
    created in a temporary directory and is automatically deleted when the
    application terminates.
    ...

You will have to use PerlApp::get_bound_file() and write it to disk yourself
if you want to write to a more permanent location.

All of this is unchanged from PDK 5.3.
