in reply to Combining or Merging 2 zip files.

Look under "Add a directory/tree to a Zip" under Archive::Zip. Don't know about adding individual files, but this should get you started.

    I understand how to add files to the zip and even how to manage sending it over the network. I just can't figure out how to take two seperate zip files, and combine them, overwriteing the old files in the main zip with the new files in the updated zip.

      For that, I think you'll have to unzip at least the updated zip. Unless you want to mess around with the guts of Zip files.
