How to Unzip With Archive Zip
If you are using archive:zip on your Web server, then you will need to know the code to extract (or unzip) an archive. Archive zip (stylized as archive:zip) is a Perl-based script to handle ZIP archives on the Web. While primarily used to create archives, it can also be frequently used to extract archives. You insert the extract code into a Perl script that uses archive:zip, and the archive will extract. You use the "extractTree" function in Perl.
