Yes, but I'm not starting with a file, I'm starting with an URL and staging the file temporarily via File::Temp. The pod documentation of File::Temp specifically states:
Filehandles returned by these functions support the seekable methods.
I don't understand why I would necessarily need to know what the file being created on the fly specifically is if I can just pass a filehandle around and make Archive::Zip read data from the filehandle. Clearly I now see that this differs from how Archive::Zip works. And I do see the documentation that states that is does not yet support streams. I was hoping not to have code that needed to be aware of a temporary file given that such a file was already an open filehandle. It looks like readFromFileHandle() is really only a way to save one an extra file open operation given a file was previously opened?
