in thread Archive::Zip Error

I did try eval but I received a 'format error: CRC or size mismatch after reading data descriptor' from Archive::Zip and my program still exits. Is there a way to ignore it?

    Is there a way to ignore it?

    eval is the standard mechanism for ignoring errors. If eval isn't working for you, and you want help, you need to post some code

      I can't post my code due to my internship, so here is the general :
      $zip = Archive::Zip->new(); eval {$zip->read($filename);}; if($@) { print "Couldn't unzip $filename\n";}

        Archive::Zip's read method is documented to return an integer to signal an error, it won't die

        Your actual code isn't required, just something that triggers the same error/problem, and something that doesn't require purchasing a special brand of soap, something self contained
