Hi. Using this code:

system("cmd /c zip.exe -FF \"$mainfilepath\" --out \"$ziprepairedwordfilepath\"" or die "Could not start repair the zip structure of the docx file: $!");

I'm trying to update a corrupt Word docx file text extractor, by pretreating the files with zip's -FF zip repair command. It works well except when the zip corruption of the docx files start reminding zip of split archives, then it asks if it is a single archive or not with a "y" for yes satisfying it.

So can someone help with discussion or what Perl I should use to automatically respond with "y" and {Enter} if asked?
