changing filenames using Archive::Zip

geoffcox has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I have the code below which unzips a series of zip files. I would like to be able to change the names of the Word files produced to more systematic names. Say doc-1.zip produces fred.doc and doc-2.zip produces jane.doc I would like to change fred.doc to doc-1.doc and jane.doc to doc-2.doc You can that see I want to keep the number which the original zip file had. This is because I want to replace a whole series of zip files on a website with the Word files inside them. Ideas please?! Thanks Geoff

#!perl 
use warnings; 
use strict; 
use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS ); 
use File::Find; 

my $dir = 'c:/a-temp'; 
my @zips; 

find sub { 
    -d and return; 
    /\.zip$/ and push @zips, [$File::Find::dir, $_]; 
}, $dir; 

my $zip = Archive::Zip->new; 

for (@zips) { 
    chdir $_->[0] or die "can't chdir to $_->[0]: $!"; 
    $zip->read($_->[1]) == AZ_OK or die "can't read _->[1]"; 
    $zip->extractTree   == AZ_OK or die "can't extract $_->[1]"; 
}
