Hi. I am fairly new to perl and its fair to say I am not a developer by profession. I am having an issue and can not fanthom how to resolve or workaround...

on my Linux box I have zip files and want to find out the contents. for example;

[myuser@dev2 ~]# file /tmp/test.zip 
/tmp/test.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
[myuser@dev2 ~]# unzip -l /tmp/test.zip 
Archive:  /tmp/test.zip
  Length     Date   Time    Name

Here i my code so far. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Uncompress::Unzip qw(unzip $UnzipError);
my $zipfile = "/tmp/test.zip";
my $u = new IO::Uncompress::Unzip $zipfile
    or die "Cannot open $zipfile: $UnzipError";
 
my $status;
for ($status = 1; ! $u->eof(); $status = $u->nextStream()) {
    my $filename = $u->getHeaderInfo()->{Name};
    print "$filename\n" ; 
}
die "Error processing $zipfile: $!\n" if $status < 0 ;
