Great Monks! I am trying to unzip some .txt files using IO::Uncompress::Unzip in the code snippet below. Am getting this error though, which i suspect is to do with unseen folders in windows;
.
Use of uninitialized value $_1 in string eq at C:/Strawberry/perl/lib/IO/Compress/Base/Common.pm line 280. unzip failed: input file '.' is a directory

Below is the code 

 opendir(ZIPPED, $zipdir)or die "couldn't open $zipdir: $!\n";
my @zd = readdir(ZIPPED);
my @uzd; 

foreach(@zd) {

    my $inf = $_;
    my $outf =  $uzd[@uzd];
    
       # print $_,"\n";
    
    
    unzip $inf => $outf or die "unzip failed: $UnzipError\n";
    
}

Below is sample of the output i get if i run the print line and comment out the unzip line;
