why do you think that? At face value, thats simply not true. Whats the real reason why you (think you) need to process them that way?
I really have to, because I have a server which processes the zip files, does some checking and writes a protocol. Another client gets that protocol and does some checking on the zip contents itself with the infos from the servers protocol. Server and client assume the order of the zip contents as processing order of the protocol. That's nothing to change now.
Also, perhaps you can show us a short example of your code that has this problem, to try and make things clearer?

I don't think my code will help you, therefore I wrote a more simple example. 

my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
$zip->read('someFile.zip');
foreach my $member ($zip->members())
{
  $member->extractToFileNames('foo.txt');
  $member->extractToFileNames('bar.txt');
}

The second try to extract the same member seems always to fail and I can't find an example which states that it is general possible to extract the same member more than once or not.
