Here's a simple subroutine I use to unzip the contents of a zip file. It's just the basics, but you could do a lot more using the CPAN docs

#! c:\perl\bin\perl.exe
use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );
use strict;
my ($zipfl, $zippath);

print "Enter the name of the zip file: \n";
chomp ($zipfl = <stdin>);
print "Enter the absolute path where the contents are to be blown up!:
+ \n";
chomp ($zippath = <stdin>);            
extract_tree("$zipfl","$zippath");    

sub extract_tree($$)
{
    my $source=shift;
    my $target=shift;
    chomp ($target);
    my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
    $zip->read("$source");
       $zip->extractTree( "", "$target" );
}
