This is experimental software for the moment and under active development. I hope to have a beta version available soon.

Archive::BagIt - An interface to make and verify bags according to the BagIt standard

Version 0.03

This modules will hopefully help with the basic commands needed to create and verify a bag. My intention is not to be strict and enforce all of the specification. The reference implementation is the java version and I will endeavour to maintain compatibility with it.
use Archive::BagIt;
#read in an existing bag:
my $bag = Archive::BagIt->new($bag_dir);
#construct bag in an existing directory
my $bag = Archive::BagIt->make_bag($bag_dir);
# Validate a BagIt archive against its manifest
my $bag = Archive::BagIt->new($bag_dir);
$is_valid = $bag->verify_bag();

If a data directory exists, assume it is already a bag (no checking for invalid files in root)
An interface to verify a bag
Returns the bagit version according to the bagit.txt file.
Returns an array with all of the payload files (those files that are below the data directory)
Returns an array with files that are in the root of the bag, non-manifest files
return an array with the list of manifest files that exist in the bag
return an array with the list of tagmanifest files
