Fred had already posted it at http://tinyurl.com/378zr

Besides, yesterday, Ned answered me cc:the list, but I guess the list server 
must have rejected his post (he probably isn't subscribed)... anyway, he 
said:

I've checked and it's the exact same version Fred forwarded, with a few 
numbers changed:

I've been using it in our small server since the moment I got my hands on it: 
http://tinyurl.com/356sl

Today I installed it on the 12-server farm for a very large ISP and it's 
working fine (I sent a couple of corrupted zip files successfully).

Anyway, this is only from a MailScanner point of view... I don't use 
Archive::Zip any place else.

Regards, and thanx Ned for posting it in CPAN.
