Hello,
I am trying to write a simple code to create an archive and to extract files from it on Windows. I am using Archive::Zip and I wrote 2 simple functions. The problem is that my extract_archive function works only on files created with WinZip but not on files created by my other function, create_arhive. However, WinZip extracts both type of files.
I have found on another PM node an example very similar with mine. But this example doesn't work either. Or at least it doesn't work for me.
I tried it with something like:
>perl -w zip.pl c D:/Explain/WithScript/archive.zip SomeFolder
=> archive created
>perl -w zip.pl x D:/Explain/WithScript/archive.zip
=> outputs "Done!" but does nothing
>perl -w zip.pl x D:/Explain/WithWinZip/archive.zip
=> extracts the files
Thank you for your help.
