how to extract zip files

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a module used to extract zip files? What I have is a few directories with 1 zip file in each dir. I need to extract the zip file, put all the files from the zip file in the DIR, then delete the original zipfile.

There won't be nested zip files or anything. I looked at, I belive, Archive::Zip but I didn't see anything on decompressing it.

Archive::Zip is the direct link To extract an individual file, use the extractMember method, look in the section Zip Archive Member Operations. jdtoronto	[reply]
