I am still quite novice at Perl but I need to attack this script fast.

Here is the code:


#!/usr/bin/perl

$| = 1;

use Archive::Zip qw( :CONSTANTS );

$sandbox = "/tmp/sandbox";

opendir(D,"$sandbox") or warn("Could not open $sandbox\n");;

@FILES = grep(/([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9])\.EXE/,readdir(D)) or die("Could not
+ read from $sandbox\n");;
close(D);

chdir("$sandbox");

for ( @FILES ) {
    $file = $_ ;

    my $unzip = Archive::Zip->new();

    print("File: $file\n");
    print("Attempting to deflate $file: ");

    $unzip->extract("$sandbox/$file") or warn("OOPS! Could not deflate
+ $file - $!\n") or print("done\n");
}

When run, I get the following:


gvc@hopper> perl -c unzip.pl
unzip.pl syntax OK
gvc@hopper> perl unzip.pl
File: USEOB096.EXE
Attempting to deflate USEOB096.EXE: Can't locate object method "extrac
+t" via package "Archive::Zip::Archive" at unzip.pl line 24.

Hmmm...This is not the error I was getting a week ago when I ran this but this is a good starter. Why can't it find this module?

I will go on from this once I have resolved this issue.
Thanks for the assistance.
