Archive::Any - Single interface to deal with file archives.
use Archive::Any;
my $archive = Archive::Any->new( 'archive_file.zip' );
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.
- new
-
my $archive = Archive::Any->new( $archive_file );
my $archive_with_type = 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.
- extract
-
$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.
- files
-
my @file = $archive->files;
A list of files in the archive.
- mime_type
-
my $mime_type = $archive->mime_type();
Returns the mime type of the archive.
- is_impolite
-
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.
- is_naughty
-
my $is_naughty = $archive->is_naughty;
Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack
outside the current directory.
- type
-
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".
