Re: Multi file stream with IO::Compress::Zip

I havent used this interface, but it looks like the syntax you need is :

 # Possibly, need to set binmode...
$zip->newStream(name=>"SomeFileName.txt" );
# in a loop .. write data using:
$zip->write $data, $length, $offset;
# Then finally
$zip->close; # Or do newStream for some other file name..

What I couldn't figure out is how to specify a new (change of) filename. But see my update above, I went with a different module and it does what I need.	[reply]

If a streamed Zip file with multiple members is what you need then Archive::Zip::SimpleZip is probably the best way to go. I see in your code you've used '-' to force streaming. You can explicitly request streaming to a file/buffer by specifying the Stream option, as shown below. If writing to STDOUT is what you need, then you don't need to explicitly set it. `## Explicitly ask for Stream is set to 1 my $z = new Archive::Zip::SimpleZip "somefile.zip, Stream => 1 or print STDERR "Cannot create zip file: $SimpleZipError\n";` [download] FYI - I wrote Archive::Zip::SimpleZip because the interface I provided in IO::Compress::Zip to create a Zip file with multiple members is not the easiest to use. Archive::Zip::SimpleZip is just a wrapper around IO::Compress::Zip to make this use-case as easy as possible.	[reply] [d/l]

I am using Archive::Zip::SimpleZip and it works exactly as needed. Thanks for your work, it's great!	[reply]
