Looking the FilterName option portion of the documentation for IO::Compress::Zip, I was able to figure out a syntax that appeared to work for me.

I created a directory named 'test_dir' and created two text files in that directory. Then I used the following code:

use strict;
use warnings;

use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:all);

my $outfile = "test.zip";
my $dir = "test_dir";

zip [ <$dir/*.txt> ] => $outfile, BinModeIn => 0 or die "zip failed:  
+$ZipError\n";

[download]

When I ran the code, it created a zip file that had a directory named 'test_dir', which in turn contained the two text files. This was done on Windows 7 using Strawberry Perl 5.20.0 and IO::Compress::Zip 2.064.

Hopefully the code above will help point you in the right direction for what you're trying to do.
