Archive::Any (3pm)

  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.

new

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.

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 \*(C`mime_type\*(C'.
