in reply to Whats a good process for archiving cron processed files?

If it were me, I'd consider using a simple bash script instead. Something along the lines of this: 

find /home/reports/ftp/WSB/ -iname ?????? -exec zip -m9 {}.zip \;

Definitely not tested (for syntax or otherwise), but maybe it gives you a more simple angle-of-attack, and 'Simple Is Good.'

    While the code example was from an after the fact cleanup script, I'd actually like to archive the individual files as I process them in my already existing perl script, so I was looking to a perl solution first :)
