Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Zip.AppendOneFileOrDir to Zip.AddFile

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendOneFileOrDir method calls with AddFile. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

#  ...
#  ...
$localFilePath = "c:/someDir/example.dat";
$saveExtraPath = 0;

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The AppendOneFileOrDir method is deprecated:

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

#  ...
#  ...

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Do the equivalent using AddFile.

#  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip->AddFile($localFilePath,$saveExtraPath);
if ($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);
