Hi,
I'm learning to use exiftool to read metadata of Office file. And recent days I got a problem:
When I was reading metadata of docx,pptx, or xlsx files, in Windows, I used version 10.19 of exiftool.exe,and here are the results:
ExifTool Version Number : 10.19
File Name : ccc.docx
Directory : .
File Size : 106 kB
File Modification Date/Time : 2016:08:31 17:49:20+08:00
File Access Date/Time : 2016:09:05 15:48:50+08:00
File Creation Date/Time : 2016:09:05 15:48:50+08:00
File Permissions : rw-rw-rw-
File Type : DOCX
File Type Extension : docx
But in CentOS，I used version 8.50 which is installed with yum, version 10.10 and the latest version 10.25, the result was diffrent:
File Type : ZIP
File Type Extension : zip
MIME Type : application/zip
...........
Why the docx,pptx,xlsx file will be treated as ZIP file?
Sorry for the grammar error I may made, I'm not good at English, hope you can understand it.
My guess is that Archive::Zip is not installed on your CentOS system. ExifTool must be able to open the ZIP file to be able to recognize a DOCX file. (They are just a special type of ZIP file.)
See the README file for more information.

Thank you very much! My problem has been solved!
I saw the warning about Archive::Zip in the exiftool result after reading your answer.
yum install perl-Archive-Zip
Great!
