in reply to Compress::Zlib bombs on Win32

Make sure you are running the latest version of Archive::Zip. Even if it is later than what is available from ActiveState.

I posted a bug, which was fixed, related to extracting trees. Sorry, can't remember the details, but I was able to work around the bug by handling the directories in a loop instead of letting Archive::Zip do it by tree.

I also had some frustration around creating JAR files.

So, yes, I had some frustrations but was ultimately able to get everything I needed and it was still the best tool for the job.
