# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

# Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.

# AddEmpty is used when you wish to add a directory or empty file to the zip
# such that when the zip is unzipped, the directory will be created
# even if it contains no files.

$zip->AddEmpty($dirFlag,"dirB");
$zip->AddEmpty($dirFlag,"dirC");
