Sometimes, a CPAN dist will contain additional documentation in a POD file separate from the main module file. From the Archive::Zip::FAQ: How to test file integrity?
Q: How can Archive::Zip can test the validity of a Zip file? A: There are two ready-to-use utilities in the examples directory that ca +n be used to test file integrity, or that you can use as examples for your own code: examples/zipcheck.pl shows how to use an attempted extraction to test +a file.

The example script uses eval and:

Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( sub { warn shift() } );

When I run zipcheck.pl on a file which I know is not a zip file, I only get one message:

format error: can't find EOCD signature
