Mmmm, I never thought I'd comment on this node again, but yesterday I tried to unzip a 2GB zip file with "unzip", the Linux app. That one died on me time after time for unknown reasons (one error was something like "write error. Disk full?" when I had plenty of disk space available).

I gave this little snippet a try and -yes, unzipping a 2GB zip file takes a while, and I don't like .zip anyways, but that's besides the point- no errors, the snippet unzipped the .zip nicely :) Woohoo! Perl rocks.
