"I started to feel ignored by the monks "
"feel ignored" ? ... in just under two hours?

That may reflect a misunderstanding of how the Monastery works... especially when the question was less than crystal clear (judging by your need to clarify.)

We're here to help, but the 'free-help' and 'instant-help' domains are not always co-terminus. Have some patience, mhd.tahawi, and recognize that the good Monks are not always instantly available to solve your problems.

And consider, also, the possibility that reversing the workflow you specified ("create a big archive and then rename member files") would solve your problem without needing to do renames inside the zipfile.

    at first I really appreciate you taking out of your personal time to help me out.
    what I said about ignorance was only as an ice breaker, I fully understand how perlmonks work and I really appreciate all the members here.

    unfortunately reversing the work flow is not possible. The files need to be renamed after they are zipped
    Many thanks :)
