use chilkat();

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

# ...

$pattern = "*.txt";

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The FirstMatchingEntry method is deprecated:

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

# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using EntryMatching.
# Your application creates a new, empty ZipEntry object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

$success = $zip->EntryMatching($pattern,$ze);
