in reply to Non-Duplicate File Names, Security, and Self Cleaning

Unless for learning purposes, don't mind zipping jpeg files. The gain is very low (no more than 2%).

If you just want to join files together, "tar" takes much less cpu time.

    Thanks. I didn't even think of using another format. Using Archive::Zip was definitely educational but installing the required Compress::Glink update has been annoying anyway. Archive::Tar is already installed, so why not?!? Thanks for the tip. If you want to see what I've come up with it's here.
    Cheers!
