Amount of entries in zip file [Archive::Zip (Compress::Zlib)]

Twig

Where this is defined?
I'm using perl 5.6 and writing a script to get listing of zip file
content but getting complained of "too short file" when trying to access
2.2 Giga zip file.
Is there available archive module which can handle bigger files than 2
Gb's?

How to get over this?

Perl 5.6 is mandatory requirement for me, and reason to write this
script is get rid of external utils.

I don't think it is a function of the module, but depends on how perl was
compiled. For example:

ls

size

etc.

Get a Perl that supports 64-bit file offsets.

If you have a zip utility that is widely available and works with 64-bit
offsets, why not use it?
