I need to compress a bunch of files, so instead of
making a system call to gzip I figured to try out
Archive::Zip.
After running this code it creates a new file but is
larger in size. 
How do I use archive zip to simply zip files so that
they are generally smaller in size?

thank you
derek

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use Data::Dumper;
use Readonly;
use Archive::Zip qw ( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );

my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

# add all readable files and directories below . as
xyz/*
  $zip->addTree( '/usr/local/admin', 'derek' );
  # and write them into a file
  $zip->writeToFileNamed('xxx.zip');
