* Initial known errors can now be checked on number (1002)
* More tests for illegal combinations
* Added -u option to examples/csv-check to validate utf-8 encoding
* Correct documentation for error_diag () return value in case of
constructor failure (Slaven, RT#46076)
* All error_diag () returns should now be dual-var (both numeric
and string context valid)

* Skip perlio tests for perl older than 5.8, as perlio
was experimental in 5.6
* Up Devel::PPPort to 3.17
* Fix initialisation of eol => undef (could cause core dump)
* Added configure_require to META.yml

Subject: change file names using Archive::Zip
Message-Id: <f9s015hajoc9482e0ahe4bh0qq599pfnq8@4ax.com>
Hello,
'apologies for posting in comp.lang.perl first - it doesn't seem to
have much activity so am posting here...
I have the code below which unzips a series of zip files.
I would like to be able to change the names of the Word files produced
to more systematic names.
Say doc-1.zip produces fred.doc
and
doc-2.zip produces jane.doc
I would like to change
fred.doc to doc-1.doc
and
jane.doc to doc-2.doc
You can that see I want to keep the number which the original zip file
had. This is because I want to replace a whole series of zip files on
a website with the Word files inside them.
Ideas please?!
Thanks
Geoff

It was removed over 10 years ago on news servers that are

I assume that you are guaranteed that each zip archive contains
exactly one file.

I consider "documentation optimization" a major part of a code
lifecycle. If a change to code can make documentation shorter without
removing functionality, move it up in priority of the TODO list...

as others have said the better ones can do the 95%/95%. but even then
they are easy to break. here docs can sometimes do it. i know i have
seen unmatched braces (in data or comments, etc) do it even when
escaped. but then i disable colorizing when i can as it is actually
distracting to me. my eyes have to parse different colors just to read

The OP wants to replace a mistyped (specific) phrase with the correct
one. Why the hell would anyone wants to capture $1 and $2, just to
print it out, when they can just replace as I suggested above? WHY
would someone WANT to "capture" something when they already know what
it is, if there's no relation to the task they want to achieve?
You're not making, read what the OP posted.

that module is dumb but fast. and a lot easier than manually opening and

If [Stuart Saves His Family] had actually been successful it would have
been a lot better teacher for me than the failure that it was, because it
would have given me the opportunity to do more movies,

If you put the two Bushs together in their over seven years of their two
presidencies, not one new job has been created. Numbers do not lie. If you
extrapolated from that, if the Bushs had run this country from its very
beginning to the current time, not one American would have ever worked.
We'd be hunter-gatherers.

ok, a big question for ya. how would a perl program running on your box
find the documentation for any module ever created and located anywhere
on the net? if you can answer that, write that program and i am sure it
will be included in the next release of perl.
yes, that was sarcastic. yes, i can't believe you don't even understand
how perldoc works and where it finds its docs. have you actually read
the docs for perldoc? you run perldoc perldoc.
