What am I missing? I am trying to zip a few hundred PDF's by the first 7 letters of the filename to make each zip a manageable size.

It is zipping all of them into just one file and I know it must be something simple that I am missing. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:all);
$path='/DATA/DOCUMENTS/';
opendir my $dh, $path;
my @files = readdir $dh;
foreach my $files (@files){
print "$files\n";
$zipfilename=substr($files,7);
$zipfilename1=$path.$zipfilename;
zip [ glob("$zipfilename1*.pdf") ] => "$zipfilename1.zip"
 or die "Cannot create zip file: $ZipError" ;
}
closedir $dh;
