in thread Path Of an extracted Files

I know that. But you can't give a specific path when doing this.
I tried it and it was giving me thsi error :
mkdir AFCUArchive::Zip::.: Invalid argument at C:/Perl/site/lib/Archive/Zip.pm line 1760

    You can give a specific path, that's what the FM says, which you should R. Maybe you're giving an invalid path, which would explain why the mkdir() is failing.

      This is how i'm doing it : 
                   print "Y:\\autoupload\\Site_Dict\\Inbox\\$y\n";
            $zip->extractMemberWithoutPaths($y,"Y:\\autoupload\\Site_D
+ict\\Inbox\\"."$y");

        To quote the inimitable Klortho the Magnificent:

        THE ERROR MESSAGE! READ THE ERROR MESSAGE!

        The filename includes colons and that's not gonna work on Windows. It's not a problem with the directory, it's that $y includes invalid chars for Windows. C'mon, it's right in front of you.

        change that to:  $zip->extractMember($y,"Y:\\autoupload\\Site_Dict\\Inbox\\$y"); and it should work like a champ, assuming that $y has been basename()'d.

        From the perldoc: 

        extractMember( $memberOrName [, $extractedName ] )
     Extract the given member, or match its name and extract it. Retur
+ns
     undef if member doesn't exist in this Zip. If optional second arg
+ is
     given, use it as the name of the extracted member. Otherwise, the
     internal filename of the member is used as the name of the extrac
+ted
     file or directory. If you pass $extractedName, it should be in th
+e
     local file system's format. All necessary directories will be
     created. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.

        Please note If you pass $extractedName, it should be in the local file system's format. All necessary directories will be created.
