Hello All,
Please forgive my ignorance in asking this question. I have never made a zip or a compressed file using perl. I am seek perl wisdom on sample code that would zip / compress files and directories.


I Have written a script that creates many files, 46, to be exact. These files are created in the same directory that the script is ran from. The files will look like AAA_file1, AAA_file2, AAA_file3, etc. All beginning with AAA. In addition, the scrip also creates a directory with two sub directories and files located in the directory and the sub directories which also need to be added to the zip / compress file. There may be other files and directories in the current location but will not be needed in the zip / compressed file. The directory name that will be created is called "support"

Any offering / assistance is greatly appreciated.

Gary
