Are you familiar with http://search.cpan.org?  It is a search tool for
Perl modules.

Take a look at

The compressed file for the module is
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SM/SMPETERS/Archive-Zip-1.16.tar.gz

You will need to download that and nmake
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/patch/1.52/w95/en-us/nmake15.exe

run nmake15.exe
This will create a file named NMAKE.EXE
Put this file somewhere in your PATH

Decompress Archive-Zip-1.16.tar.gz (winzip should be able to do it)
open a cmd shell and change directory to uncompress Archive-Zip directory
type "perl Makefile.pl" (assuming perl is in your PATH)
type "nmake"
type "nmake test" (this is an optional step, but it is a good idea)
type "nmake install" (you may need admin privileges)

If everything went as planned the module will now be installed.  The
documentation for the module can be found here:
http://search.cpan.org/~smpeters/Archive-Zip-1.16/lib/Archive/Zip.pod

The basics (cribbed from the SYNOPSIS on that page) are:

use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );

my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
$zip->addDirectory( 'D:\\backup' );
die 'write error' unless $zip->writeToFileNamed( 'd:\\backup.zip' ) == AZ_OK;

Why? If you are on Windows and run ActivePerl, do 

  C:\Perl> ppm

and wait for the ppm-prompt, then: 

  ppm> query Archive-Zip

  Querying target 1 (ActivePerl 5.8.7.813)
1. Archive-Zip [1.16] Provide an interface to ZIP archive files.

and you'll see that it is already installed. 


If you run a different perl, try 

  $ perl -MCPAN -e shell

and type help. You'll find install there.

Why don't you use backticks?

btw: are you running perl on win32?

If you are running on Windows you can install Archive::Zip through PPM.

ppm install Archive-Zip
