Hi Monks!
I have this code that generates files from a larger file, all I need to do is zip all the files generated, how could I do that? I am trying like on my code here, but it's not working, any help?

#!/perl/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use File::Find;
use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );
# @chunks could be: file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt or more files or jus
+t one
my $htdocs_out;
        open $htdocs_out, '>', "$arch_path/$dir_archive_name/$outname"
+  or die $!; 

              foreach my $chunk_file(@chunks){
              my $chunk_zip = Archive::Zip->new();
              my $chunk_zipped;
              $chunk_zipped = $chunk_zip->addFile( $chunk_file );
              print $htdocs_out $chunk_zipped;
              }
                                       
        close $htdocs_out or die $!;
