Re: Archive::Zip & OpenOffice odt files

I would check your umask, because Archive::Zip::FAQ says

File ownership/permissions/ACLS/etc
Q: Why doesn't Archive::Zip deal with file ownership, ACLs, etc.?
A: There is no standard way to represent these in the Zip file format. If you want to send me code to properly handle the various extra fields that have been used to represent these through the years, I'll look at it.

Well, not exactly... First, if I repack the odt file using unzip+zip from shell, Archive::Zip works fine. Second, it is not a problem of file ownership, it is that it creates directories in which it itself cannot write, and this, in my opinion, is an anomaly. On the other hand, if I use umask to set the x flag, then all the files would be marked as executable, and this would be an anomaly, too. Rule One: "Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man."	[reply]
