I have a pile of zipped files I need to parse on windows machine. 
Probably 100 files total. I saw there is an Archive::Zip I could 
probably use to unzip into memory, as I don't want to have to unzip 
into the file system, but has anyone used something like that? 
Basically a way to look into a zip file, find the constituent files, 
then parse them?

Thanks-

David

I had to do something like this for some automation I was doing for a 
job.  We were receiving JPG pictures that were zipped together by 
day, and then those zips were zipped together by week.  There wasn't 
enough space on the machine to unzip everything so I wrote a module 
using Archive::Zip to list the contents of a zip and then be able to 
pull files from it one at a time.  The biggest drawback was the speed 
because to pull a file from the middle or end it had to traverse the 
whole file to find what it was looking for.

I had to leave the module with the company I wrote it for.  If you 
aren't after speed you should be able to get what you want out of 
Archive::Zip.

Archive::Zip may be easier, but I usemy @args = ("unzip", "-qqt", "$ftp_dir/$zip_file");to test for a valid zip files then       my @rc = `unzip -qql $ftp_dir/$zip_file`;to list the files, find the one I want into $file_to_unzipand finally   my $return = `unzip -qqjo $ftp_dir/$zip_file $file_to_unzip -d $ftp_dir\n`;to unzip qq means a quiet outputt means testl means listj means Junk any directory structure they may be trying to do0 means overwrite existing files.

Message from YAPC::NA in Houston:

The Perl Foundation (TPF) and others are wanting to publish more "Perl 
success stories" to let others know where Perl is useful.

If your company or organization is using Perl, and having success with it,
please let us know and we'll get you in touch with the right people.
It's not intended to be a big commitment of time -- they'll take care
of conducting the interview and coming up with the "story".
We just want to get Perl's success in front of more people.

Thanks!
