Re: Multiple zip files from directories!

[Anonymous Monk]

If you aren't locked into plain old zips, you could simply use winrar or 7zip to make multi-volume archives and then not have to worry about partitioning the files between them.

I can't, cause this will be part of an application, need to use my own code, I am very close now!

Not sure that makes sense to me. If your application can depend on opensource Perl and opensource Archive::Zip, why can't it depend on opensource zip and just system("zip") with appropriate args from Perl?

I certainly prefer to write Perl instead of execs where possible for performance/reliabilty reasons, but in this case Archive::Zip definitely is not as functional or elegant for doing exactly what you're trying to do here.
