in thread unzip

Archive::Zip gives you the flexibility to deal with zip files inside your Perl scripts without resorting to a system/fork, which is sometimes useful for me. Moreover, installing Archive::Zip is easier - you don't have to look for it, it's already at your -MCPAN -e shell :)

But you're right - the actual point is that I was messing a bit with Archive::Zip and Getopt::Std to take confidence and I wanted to share the results. BTW, I think that I'll look for alternatives to Getopt::Std - it does not give me the possibility to replicate unzip's argument schema in toto...

Thanks for the thought.

Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

    No problem.

    It's always good to play with things, as it's the best way to get them into your head.

    -MCPAN -e shell

    But if you've not run that before, it takes ages, and you've got to wait for everything to compile etc. But a apt-get install unzip is quicker ;-)

    Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk? Just ask!!!
      Excellent golf, in both space (less typing) and time (quicker to the goal) - but I usually run Slackware {grin}

      Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

      Don't fool yourself.
