    my $vfs = VFSsimple->new($url)

$root The root of the vfs

$options is a hashref:

vfs

Force the virtal access method to use

url parsing

The $root should be a valid url:

    protocol://server/path
    file://path

A standard file path can also be used, understood as file://.

The access method to use is find automatically using url infromation:

- protocol from url - if protocol is either file:// or ext:// and target is a file, the extension is use.

The automatic behavior can overide by setting vfs option.

For local file abstraction, an additionnal path can be append to set the root inside the archive:

    file://path/file.ext/subpath

root

Return the root of the VFS.

error

Return the last error.

get($src)

Fetch the file if necessary, and return the local location where it has been copied.

open($src)

Fetch the file if necessary and return an open file handle on it.

copy($src, $dest)

exists($file)

Return True if $file exists on the VFS
