am trying to read a zip file that is located on another Computer through a path that is provided to the parameter : $Logs_directory (\\qis-rf\400_G_OM_LOGS\RNC_Logs\RNC_10.142.105.3.zip) The Module zip.pm cannot read a zip file that is located by a path... if i Map a virtual drive to the path then the module manages to read the file and extract its files. Question: Would you know about a fix for that? Perhaps asking Adam Kennedy (Module Owner) b.t.y Archive::Tar Module can work with .gz files that are located by a path.
