Hi: Has any one used WINZIP or other Utilites to zip files from within perl?. I am using FDZIP a free command line utility to zip files. It does a good job of zipping files the problem is the input file name to the zip utility is in UPPER CASE, the zipped file name is also in upper case. When I double click on the zip file, my default zip utility WINZIP opens and shows me the file name, this file name is shown in Lower CASE. For some reason, the dos command line utility is changing the file name from upper case to lower case. The customer who is getting the file wants the file to remain in upper case. So I was thinking may be to use some other tool like winzip, but how do I call it from within my perl script?. Any help and sample code would be appreciated. Thanks for your help in advance. Thanks
