Greetings! I am using IO::Compress::Zip but I cannot get the syntax quite right for what I am trying to do. Here is some pseudo code:

use IO::Compress::Zip qw(zip $ZipError);

my $zip = new IO::Compress::Zip \*STDOUT 
  or print STDERR "IO::Compress::Zip failed: $ZipError\n";

foreach my $file (@files) {

 ... do some stuff to the file

 ... now add file to the archive

} 

$zip->close;

My problem: Using this the OO way I am not quite sure how to define the filename AND the contents of the file on each loop thus producing a stream to STDOUT with multiple files.

UPDATE

I ended up using Archive::Zip::SimpleZip. This seems to work good and does in fact stream the zip file from the server as it is being processed.


## when using '-', Stream is set to 1
my $z = new Archive::Zip::SimpleZip '-', 
  or print STDERR "Cannot create zip file: $SimpleZipError\n";

foreach my $file (@files) {

 ... do some stuff to the file

 my $fh = $z->openMember(Name => "<filename.ext>");
 print $fh <stuff>;
 close($fh);

} 

$z->close;
