Hi,

I have a code which archives the files and create the corresponding zip files with same name. But this piece of code works on some folder correctly , whereas on other it gives error. "Can't call method "desiredCompressionlevel" on an undefined value at C:/Perl64/Archive/Zip/Archive.pm line 261" 

sub addFile {
    my $self = shift;

    my ( $fileName, $newName, $compressionLevel );
    if ( ref( $_[0] ) eq 'HASH' ) {
        $fileName         = $_[0]->{filename};
        $newName          = $_[0]->{zipName};
        $compressionLevel = $_[0]->{compressionLevel};
    }
    else {
        ( $fileName, $newName, $compressionLevel ) = @_;
    }

    if ( $^O eq 'MSWin32' && $Archive::Zip::UNICODE ) {
        $fileName = Win32::GetANSIPathName($fileName);
    }

    my $newMember = $self->ZIPMEMBERCLASS->newFromFile( $fileName, $ne
+wName );
    $newMember->desiredCompressionLevel($compressionLevel);
    if ( $self->{'storeSymbolicLink'} && -l $fileName ) {
        my $newMember = $self->ZIPMEMBERCLASS->newFromString(readlink 
+$fileName, $newName);
        # For symbolic links, External File Attribute is set to 0xA1FF
+0000 by Info-ZIP
        $newMember->{'externalFileAttributes'} = 0xA1FF0000;
        $self->addMember($newMember);
    } else {
        $self->addMember($newMember);
    }
    if ( $^O eq 'MSWin32' && $Archive::Zip::UNICODE ) {
        $newMember->{'fileName'} = encode_utf8( Win32::GetLongPathName
+($fileName) );
    }
    return $newMember;
}
