While this is implicit shelling too, it is elegant. Thanks folks. Look at Compress::Zlib for a solution that isn't shelling. Also, you may want to look at my Archive::Zip module if you're using unzip for handling archive files. It uses Compress::Zlib internally for its operations. If you want to create zip files, you'll need a later version of Compress::Zlib than the one distributed with ActiveState's perl. Their 1.03 version is broken in the inflate() function. I have a newer version of Compress::Zlib compiled for Win32 Intel users (5.005_03) on my website. -- Ned Konz currently: Stanwood, WA email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Perl homepage: http://bike-nomad.com/perl --- You are currently subscribed to perl-win32-users as: [archive@jab.org] To unsubscribe, forward this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For non-automated Mailing List support, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
