Thinking of a way I can use a cronjob and script to zip an entire directory and email it to myself every night.

I'm new to Perl, so if anyone has a script like this, please post it here.

It is possible to do it to just certain files, but I'm not aware of a command that would work for a whole directory.

To do just one file you would use;

`gzip -c file.html > file.tar.gz`;

so to do a directory I suppose you could use something like;

$path = "/path/to/the/folder/you/want/";
`gzip -c $path > file.tar.gz`;

I doubt very much this will work, as I'm pretty sure there is either no command to ZIP folders, or it is done another way

All I know is that the code I provided first works on a single file.

I'm not sure if this is the best way but try.....

I'm not sure if that will work but it was just a quick idea.
