Hi Tim:

     Thanks very much.  You are a few days ahead of me.
The only code I've seen at all is the documentation...

Archive::Zip - Provide an interface to ZIP archive files.

NAME

Archive::Zip - Provide an interface to ZIP archive files.

SYNOPSIS
 use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );

 my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
my $member = $zip->addDirectory( 'dirname/' );
$member = $zip->addString( 'This is a test', 'stringMember.txt' );
$member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );
$member = $zip->addFile( 'xyz.pl', 'AnotherName.pl' );

 die 'write error' if $zip->writeToFileNamed( 'someZip.zip' ) != AZ_OK;

 $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
die 'read error' if $zip->read( 'someZip.zip' ) != AZ_OK;

 $member = $zip->memberNamed( 'stringMember.txt' );
$member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );

 die 'write error' if $zip->writeToFileNamed( 'someOtherZip.zip' ) != AZ_OK;

DESCRIPTION

The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate, read, and write 
Zip archive files.

Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files. Once created, 
they can be written to files, streams, or strings.

Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and enumerated. They 
can also be renamed or have their dates, comments, or other attributes
queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or uncompressed as needed. Members 
can be created from members in existing Zip files, or from existing
directories, files, or strings.

I could tell from this that addFile is the main method, but I was nut sure I 
understood everything else going on.  (e.g. inflate, deflate, COMPRESSION_STORED  


Thanks,

Steve
