Here's the problem. I have a list of html files on a Windows box that I want to zip using Archive-Zip. No matter what I do I get an empty zip file. Here's the code, see below. $server_root is the doc root of IIS, d:/online.I use CGI because this must be triggered thru a web interface. What am I doing wrong? 
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp (fatalsToBrowser);
use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );
use lib '..';
require 'globals.plx';
require './config.plx';

print header;
open FH,$vsc_log;
my @files = <FH>;
close FH;

print qq(change dir to $server_root),br;
chdir "$server_root" or "Can't cd to $server_root: $!"; 

my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
foreach my $file (@files){
    $file =~ s@d:/online/@@;
    $file =~ s@/@\\@g;
    print "add $file",br;
    $zip->addFile("$file");
}

print qq(write $vsc_zip),br;
die 'write error' unless $zip->writeToFileNamed( $vsc_zip ) == AZ_OK;
