From Archive::Zip

If the name given does not represent a readable plain file or symbolic
+ link, undef will be returned

It looks as though $renamed_file is not "a readable plain file or symbolic link".

Try wrapping your code with this check to be sure:

 
if ( ( -r $renamed_file )&& ( ( -f $renamed_file ) || ( -l $renamed_fi
+le ) ) ){
   #add to zip
}
else{
   print "$renamed_file is not a readable valid file id\n"
}

print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
