Archive::Any - Single interface to deal with file archives.
use Archive::Any; my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file); my @files = $archive->files; $archive->extract; my $type = $archive->type; $archive->is_impolite; $archive->is_naughty;
This module is a single interface for manipulating different archive formats. Tarballs, zip files, etc.
my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file); my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file, $type);
$type is optional. It lets you force the file type in-case Archive::Any can't figure it out.
$archive->extract; $archive->extract($directory);
Extracts the files in the archive to the given $directory. If no $directory is given, it will go into the current working directory.
my @file = $archive->files;
A list of files in the archive.
my $mime_type = $archive->mime_type();
Returns the mime type of the archive.
my $is_impolite = $archive->is_impolite;
Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack into the current directory rather than create its own.
my $is_naughty = $archive->is_naughty;
Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack outside the current directory.
my $type = $archive->type;
Returns the type of archive. This method is provided for backwards compatibility in the Tar and Zip plugins and will be going away soon in favor of mime_type.
For detailed information on writing plugins to work with Archive::Any, please see the pod documentation for Archive::Any::Plugin.
