Help me to learn...

["Alexei V. Alexandrov" <av...@elcomsoft.com>]

Dear mod_perl users,

  I`m new to programming using mod_perl just for learning i wrote some
  simple modules and i want to write a more complex module for solving
  the following task:

  There are many .zip files on our server in the web root directory. I
  want to write a kind of module to view the contents of the zip file
  using unzip program. I don`t want to place zip files in a spechial
  folder and so on... What is the best way to do it.

  Thank you for any help.

Best regards,
Alexei V. Alexandrov                   [AA4460, AVA32-RIPN, AA1829-RIPE]

Hi,
    You could start by taking a look at Apache::Archive, in
$CPAN/authors/id/J/JP/JPETERSON/, which sounds like it does
what you want, but for .tar and .tar.gz files. For an interface
to zip files, check out Archive::Zip, under 
$CPAN/authors/id/N/NE/NEDKONZ/.
