Why would any client (whatever you mean by "client") need PHP when running
Perl to begin with?

Did you check CPAN.org? What does a search for ZIP return?
Or just do a plain "perldoc Archive::ZIP", it might even be installed
already.

Again, what does Perl have to do with PHP?

Is there anything wrong with "mkdir()", details see "perldoc -f mkdir"?
And as far as temporary file names go: "perldoc -q temp" has some
interesting insights and suggestions.

No idea what you are talking about. Why would you want to create a file
first, delete it, and then create a temp directory with the same name?
Anything wrong with creating the directory right away? After all,
directories are nothing but files in a special format.
