I have tried zipping a directory which contains sub directories and files and this is my code.

!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use List::Util qw(first);

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

my $input= 'D:\temp\sample';

my $outDir = 'D:\out\sample.zip';

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

 $obj->addTree( $input );

# # Write the files to zip.
if ($obj->writeToFileNamed($outDir) == AZ_OK) 
{  
    # write to disk
    print "\n\nArchive created successfully!\n";
} 
else 
{
    print "Error while Zipping !";
}

When i execute this, the zip file ( sample.zip ) is created.

Always the unzipping is done manually selecting the option " Extract Here ".

When i unzip this , the directory bursts open putting all the subfolders and files at the same location( D:\out).

What i want is, i expect the output to be a unique folder ( D:\out\sample) So, what changes need to be done in my code. Pls help me.
