Re^3: CRC Error on ZIP Files

If you are on Windows, you really need to

binmode STDOUT;
[download]

before printing. On all other operating systems, it's still good practice. Maybe try that, and alternatively, first create the ZIP file on disk, and manually download it through a trusted, different way, just to make sure that the ZIP file itself is not corrupted.

Hi Corion, my deepest gratitude to you for your idea of testing the zip file on disk ! I have been assuming the zip file itself would be generated wrongly. Now I realize it's not ! The zip file, prior to downloading is working perfectly fine. The problem lies within the download-script. Yet having added the command binmode STDOUT; did not alter anything.	[reply]

Did you look at the expected and actual file sizes? I note in your download subroutine that you never check whether open succeeds. Maybe the file you are trying to open does not exist? `my $filename= $_[0].$_[1]; open my $peunter, '<', $filename or die "Couldn't open '$filename': $!"; ...` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
