I'm reusing a perl scrip to zip file from a directory and move zipped file to another directory. All works well except the directory path is included in the .zip file. example: result is /xyz/data/filename.txt I just want filename.txt in my zip file. I'm new to Perl and haven't been able to sort this out. here's my code:

#!/bin/perl -w
# Author - Unknown
# Date - 3/30/2009
# ARGV[0] = zipfile name
# ARGV[1] = directory of files
# ARGV[2] = output directory for zip file

use Archive::Zip qw(:ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS);
use File::Copy;



die "usage: $0 zipfile.zip direcotry [...]\n"
    if (scalar(@ARGV) < 3);

($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year) = localtime(time);
$year+= 1900; 
$mon += 01; 
my $zipName = sprintf "$ARGV[0]_%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d.zip", $year,$
+mon,$mday,$hour,$min,$sec;

my $indir = $ARGV[1];
my $outdir = $ARGV[2];

my @files = <$indir*>;
my $count = @files;

if($count > 0){

my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

foreach my $memberName (map { glob } $indir)
{
    if (-d $memberName )
    {
        if($zip->addFile( $memberName ) != AZ_OK){
            #or sendalert(); 
        $message = "Can't add file $memberName\n";}
    }
}

my $status = $zip->writeToFileNamed($zipName);

if ($status != AZ_OK){
    $message = "Can't add file to $zipName\n";
  
  }
  else
  {
      move($zipName, $outdir) or die(qq{failed to move <br>$zipName ->
+ $outdir});
  }

foreach my $file (@files) {
#print "$file\n";
unlink $file;
#system("DEL $file"); 
}

exit $status;
}
