i have to ask a couple of questions.

1) if you comment out the zip portion do you see the files extracted to the proper directory?

2) why are you trying to zip it back up right after you unzip it? why dont you do all of your unziping then call your zip processes.

3) altho i havent worked with perl on windows i dont think you need to backslash the backslash in this case.

but at this point i would be makeing sure each portion of the script is doing what you want.

start w/ the unzip functions and makesure it is extracting your data to the correct directory.

then work on the zip portion. persaonly i would write 2 functions.

1 that unzips and 1 that zips; and i would do all the unziping first then do the zip.
