Okay, the IO::Scalar pointer has helped, now I am getting a unblessed reference error when I attempt to pass it to  $zip->read()
Here is a revised code and the error:

    my $SH       = IO::Scalar->new();
    $SH->open (\$res->content());

#    my $SH       = tie *ZIP, 'IO::Scalar', \$res->content();
    
     my $zip  = Archive::Zip->new();
     die ("Error reading Zip File : $!\n") if $zip->read ( \$SH ) != A
+Z_OK;
#     die ("Error reading Zip File : $!\n") if $zip->read ( \*ZIP ) !=
+ AZ_OK;

The error, w/ use diagnostics: 
Can't call method "isa" on unblessed reference at
        /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/Archive/Zip.pm line 624 (#1)

And if anyone cares, the offending code from Archive::Zip: 

if ( ref( $fd ) )
        {
                if ( $fd->isa( 'IO::Handle' ) or $fd->isa( 'GLOB' ) )
                {
                        $status = $handle->fdopen( $fd, @_ );
                }
                else
                {
                        $handle = $fd;
                }
        }
