If you do a "perldoc Archive::Zip" (I would print out a hard copy of the result, it's pretty long), you should get all of the error codes, methods, etc.

And of course contribute the docs yourself :-). Sorry for the non-informative answer but this is probably as good as you can get and it appears the module's source is laid out very cleanly. For instance: # ------------------------- begin exportable error codes ------------------- use constant AZ_OK => 0; use constant AZ_STREAM_END => 1; use constant AZ_ERROR => 2; use constant AZ_FORMAT_ERROR => 3; use constant AZ_IO_ERROR => 4; # ------------------------- end exportable error codes --------------------- http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
