Can you give us a small sample of code that causes this error?

The Archive::Zip module has a test suite, which I presume passed when it was installed: so it's not likely that the module doesn't work at all - it's more likely that you're doing something not quite right.

hi,




pls. find below my code for your perusal.

Also, i am using Active perl 5.8 which includes Archive::Zip

use Archive::Zip;
use Archive::Zip::MemberRead;

opendir(DIR, "$ARGV[0]") || die "Can't open the '' directory";
@dr = grep(/\.zip/, readdir(DIR)); closedir(DIR);
undef $/;


foreach $ZipFilName (sort @dr)
{
    my %ZipCnt    = &Zip_XmlCount($ARGV[0]."\\".$ZipFilName);
####   my required output
    print "$ZipCnt{'xml'}\t$ZipCnt{'pdf'}\t$ZipCnt{'title'}\n";   
####
}


sub Zip_XmlCount
{
    my ($zipfile, $pdfCnt, $xmlCnt, %zipcnt) = @_;
    my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
    die "can't read '$zipfile' file" unless $zip->read($zipfile) eq 0;


    for($zip->memberNames())
    {    
        $xmlCnt++ if ($_ =~ /\.xml/is); #  xml count 
        $pdfCnt++ if ($_ =~ /\.pdf/is); # pdf count

########### problematic code
    
      $fh  = new Archive::Zip::MemberRead($zipfile, "./$zpname");
      while (defined($line = $fh->getline()))
      {
          $line =~ /<article-title>(.+)<\/article-title>/g;   # articl
+e-title inside xml file
              $title = $1;
      } 
###########

    }
    $xmlCnt ||=0; $pdfCnt ||=0;
    $zipcnt{'xml'} = $xmlCnt; $zipcnt{'pdf'} = $pdfCnt; $zipcnt{'title
+'} = $title;
    return %zipcnt;
}

This snippet from the docs...

$zip = new Archive::Zip("file.zip");
$fh  = new Archive::Zip::MemberRead($zip, "subdir/abc.txt");
[download]

...shows that the 1st argument to MemberRead() should be an Archive::Zip object.

This means your line $fh  = new Archive::Zip::MemberRead($zipfile, "./$zpname"); should be changed to $fh  = new Archive::Zip::MemberRead($zip, "./$zpname"); Also, the code would be a lot easier to understand - and debug - if you used use strict; and used variable scoping.
