Thank you so much for your reply, I started to feel ignored by the monks
first of all: I have only tested the zip file through opening it with archive manager. is that considered enough ? and here is what I am really trying to do:

according to This therad Archive::Zip can only handle up to 4 GB. I have a code that includes zipping functionality and I need to extend it to be able to zip + GB archives.
I am using IO::Compress::Zip to do that since I can pass an option zip64 => 1 for +4 GB files, but I also need to rename the member files inside the archives after zipping and IO::Compress::Zip doesn't seem to offer this functionality.
so I thought about zipping with IO::Compress::Zip and renamein member files with Archive::Zip. I ran a little test before I do this to see if it is possible with big archives and that was my original post.

so in a summary I need a way to create a big archive and then rename member files.
thank you !
