The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

perl solution to splitting a zip file before it reaches 2 Mb in size

Zone: Perl Programming Language

I have a complex issue, where a scripted job is failing when it is compressing a zip file, because it gets over 2Mb in size and cannot zip up more than that. the client we work with will not accept gzip files or a newer version of zip (64-bit) which will zip up more than 2Mb.

So has anyone ever tried to develop a Perl script that can detect when a zip file is about to reach 2Mb, and then automatically start another zip file, without corruption? I don't know if it can really be done or not, but I thought I would ask. Any feedback is appreciated.
