Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Zip.AppendBd to Zip.AddBd

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendBd method calls with AddBd. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

$zip = chilkat::CkZip->new();

#  ...
#  ...

$pathInZip = "example.dat";

$bd = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$bd->LoadFile("c:/someDir/example.dat");

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The AppendBd method is deprecated:
#  AppendBd returns the zip entry object, which is usually not needed.

# entryObj is a ZipEntry
$entryObj = $zip->AppendBd($pathInZip,$bd);
if ($zip->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  ...
#  ...

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Do the equivalent using AddBd.

#  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip->AddBd($pathInZip,$bd);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
#  The newly appended entry is the last one.
$ze = chilkat::CkZipEntry->new();
$index = $zip->get_NumEntries() - 1;
$zip->EntryAt($index,$ze);
