Help, please.
I am using ActiveState Perl on Win32 and utilizing the Archive::Zip module.
I have a master zip file that contains standard files, such as raw ASCII text, and
one or more zip files. (e.g. sub zip within a master zip)

I am successfully:
- extracting one of the sub zip files from the master zip.
- updating and replacing the file in the sub zip. This is working so I am faily confident that I am using the methods
in the proper fashion.

The error is when I am attempting to replace the sub zip in the master zip.
What is different with this step is I am adding a file that is already a zip file.
Is the module capable of adding a zip to a zip?

Here is the error displayed:
