steves has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a Perl module, or an open source command line tool for UNIX, that handles multi-part zip files? I've used Archive::Zip but it doesn't appear to handle multi-part.

    Try Infozip. Their FAQ claims to be able to read them, but it is a little ugly. They can't create them though.

    That did it. I had an older version of Infozip, but I was not aware of that ugly part, which did the trick. Thanks.

      Much worse actually ... their fix makes the errors disappear, but it just skips files in the second piece silently ... results are the same and I can see thousands of files in the second piece that were never extracted. Argh.

        My apologies. When it comes to zip, I either use Archive::Zip or InfoZip. Their FAQ claims to be able to handle those, so I trusted it...
