Hello World!,

I am running on a w2k system, but need to be able to unzip text files that came from a unix system, and have been compressed there. i.e. file.txt.Z type files.

I have tried: 

use Archive::Zip qw(AZ_OK);
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
unless ($zip -> read($zipfile) == AZ_OK) {
   $status -> insert ('end', "Can not read file $zipfile!\nExiting!\n"
+);
...
}

[download]
But it can't handle the .Z files. Is there another way, or module that is capable of doing this?

Thanks,
Spike.
