Hello EigenFunctions,

You can do this with the Archive::Zip->updateTree method, if you have a copy of the archive’s tree on disc, and you first delete the given directory from that copy:

$zip->updateTree
(
    {
        root    => 'New_Tree',    # On disk
        zipName => 'Tree',        # In the archive
        mirror  =>  1,            # Delete missing directories and fil
+es
    }

) == AZ_OK or die 'update error';

But I guess that misses the point of your question, which is, I take it, to delete the given directory directly.

The POD for Archive::Zip says it can be done...

Where in the POD do you see that? (Not saying it isn’t there, only that I haven’t found it.)
