Hi monks,
I want to unzip a Zip file(uploaded from browser) in a
CGI program.

my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
$zip->readFromFileHandle($fh);

But what the readFromFileHandle method expects an
IO::File object. So how can I convert the file handle

    You could try to simply bless it into an IO::File object. The following works, but i am not sure if it will work in CGI context. 
    use strict;
use warnings;

use IO::File;
use Archive::Zip;

my $fh;
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

open $fh, '<', 'c:/test.zip';
bless $fh, 'IO::File';

$zip->readFromFileHandle($fh);
print $_->fileName, "\n" for $zip->members;

      Hi,
      Thanks very much for the reply, holli.
      Blessing the object to IO::File worked.
      Thanks

    seems to me that to unzip archive You should use
    ExtractMember or ExtractTree methods rather then readFromFileHandle
