It may be helpful to know that I am running this in Cygwin, and the
file cannot be found because I'm using a path that may be invalid in
Cygwin. That said, I'd expect extract to return false whenever unzip
can't find the file to extract. Maybe that expectation is wrong?
Also, my Perl is version 5.10.1
