Is there any advantage to this variant? It's longer and buggy (missing chomp). It's also less clear due the weird use of `=>` to separate two of three arguments, especially when it's also used to associate the arguments to the command. Either way, I just realised `du` is useless. `perl -e'system zip => "-d", $_, "exe" for @ARGV' //old.zip` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That fails for paths with spaces. That may not be a problem for the OP, but it would be for me.	[reply]
