Hi,

..My perl script is in this directory and .caz(form of zip) files are also there in this directory..
One way of achieving your aim is as follow:

• Open the directory that has both perl script and the files you want to extract,
• get the names of the files ( I used zip in the code below ) using match and Regex, then make a folder with the name,
• copy the files to the newly created folder and use the module Archive::Extract to the content in the folder

Please, modify the script below to suit your purpose:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Copy qw(copy);
use Archive::Extract;
use Cwd qw(abs_path);

my $current_directory = $ARGV[0] // '.';

$current_directory = abs_path $current_directory;
chdir $current_directory or die "directory doesn't exist: $!";

opendir my $dh, $current_directory or die "can't open directory: $!";
while ( my $file = readdir $dh ) {
    chomp $file;
    next if $file eq '.' or $file eq '..';
    if ( $file =~ m{(?<filename>(?<new_folder>.+?)\.zip)$} ) {
        mkdir $+{new_folder};    ## make the folder
        copy $+{filename},
          $+{new_folder};        ## copy file to be extracted into it'
+s folder

        # files extracted in it's folder
        my $extract_file = Archive::Extract->new( archive => $+{filena
+me} );
        $extract_file->extract( to => $+{new_folder} )
          or die $extract_file->error;
    }
}
closedir $dh or die "can't close directory: $!";

You might have to check Archive::Extract
Hope this helps.
