The op was talking about deployment in big business which does not care much about "modern perl". Hence he needs a 5.8.4 + 5.8.8 legacy solution.

Archive::Zip mandatorily requires XS Compress::Raw::Zlib, Archive::Extract falls back to use system binaries - unzip - if a supporting XS is not found. Archive::Extract is easily installed in on a legacy system without compiler. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/
