Dist::Metadata::Archive - Base class for Dist::Metadata archive files
version 0.926
my $dist = Dist::Metadata->new(file => $path_to_archive);
This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable determining the metadata from an archive file.
It is a base class for archive file formats:
Dist::Metadata::Tar
Dist::Metadata::Zip
It's not useful on it's own and should be used from "new" in Dist::Metadata.
$dist = Dist::Metadata::Archive->new(file => $path);
Accepts a single file argument that should be a path to a file.
file
If called from this base class new() will delegate to a subclass based on the filename and return a blessed instance of that subclass.
new()
Returns an object representing the archive file.
Returns Unix since most archive files are be in unix format.
Unix
Attempts to parse name and version from file name.
The file attribute passed to the constructor, used to load "archive".
$dist->read_archive($file);
Returns a format-specific object representing the specified file.
This must be defined by subclasses.
