in reply to Unzipping files into a directory issue!

...after grabbing this file(.zip) using FTP

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see you actually fetching the zip file(s).  All you do is a (remote) directory listing ($ftp->dir), and then you try to unzip the listed files locally on the machine the script runs on...

Also (maybe just a typo), @dir_contents is not @dircontents.

    I am fetching the file here: 
    # Set up FTP connection
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( $myhost );
   $ftp->login( $myuser, $mypass ) || die "Could not login to $host: $
+@";
   $ftp->cwd( $ftpsourcedir ) || die "Could not cwd $ftpsourcedir: $@"
+;
   $ftp->binary();

# Get a list of files    
my @dircontents = $ftp->dir, "\n" || die "Could not list $ftpsource_di
+r: $@";
   @dircontents = sort( @dircontents );

    Yes it was a typo for demonstrate the issue on "@dir_contents is not @dircontents.", it is actually @dircontents.

      No, you're not :)

      $ftp->dir only retrieves the file names from the remote directory, not the files themselves.  For actually fetching the files, there's the ->get method.
