Thanks great monks! I have tried Marshalls construct and successfully removed the "." and ".." directories. the code now looks as below



opendir(ZIPPED, $zipdir)or die "couldn't open $zipdir: $!\n";
my @zd = grep {!-d "$zipdir/$_"}readdir(ZIPPED);
 

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


foreach(@zd) {

    next unless defined $_;
    my $inf = \@zd;
    my $outf = \@uzd;
        #print $_,"\n";
    
    unzip $inf => $outf or die "unzip failed: $UnzipError \n";
    
}

I am still unable to unzip, the error I get is as below
Uncaught exception from user code:
unzip failed: input file '730372_Atoll.zip' does not exist
That is the first file in the folder.
And Marshall, the 'my @uzd; my $outf = $uzd@uzd' was intended to be an assignment of the unzipped files to an array,
but i revised as shown in the code above.
So monks, what should i improve on? Thanks in advance!
