I was wondering if it's possible to use perl (or any thing else the runs on UNIX for that matter) to zip and unzip files with the .zip format that is standard to Windows.

I don't really need the code or a solution yet. Just a YES or NO, and maybe the name of a module.

Thanks!

Just use system commands:

system `zip blah blah` #or whatever

Note the back ticks (`), not single quotes (').

It most likely doesn't come with your UNIX system by default. You probably want to fetch it from: ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip

Or try Archive-Zip-0.09.tar.gz from http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/modules/by-module/Archive
note: you need to have zlib library installed on your system for this one.
