Re: Compress and uncompress directories using perl on Windows without disturbing the internal directory structure

You could look at using the Archive::Zip module (see also Archive::Zip::FAQ), and it's addTree method. See (Installing Modules from the Tutorials section). If one drive is low on disk space ensure you write zip files/temp files to a drive which isn't low on space. Windows allows you to browse and extract the contents of Zip files with Windows Explorer, thought Archive::Zip can also do extraction.
