7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Archive::Any;
10
11         my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);
12
13         my @files = $archive->files;
14
15         $archive->extract;
16
17         my $type = $archive->type;
18
19         $archive->is_impolite;
20         $archive->is_naughty;
21

DESCRIPTION

23       This module is a single interface for manipulating different archive
24       formats.  Tarballs, zip files, etc.
25
26       new
27             my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);
28             my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file, $type);
29
30           $type is optional.  It lets you force the file type in-case
31           Archive::Any can't figure it out.
32
33       extract
34             $archive->extract;
35             $archive->extract($directory);
36
37           Extracts the files in the archive to the given $directory.  If no
38           $directory is given, it will go into the current working directory.
39
40       files
41             my @file = $archive->files;
42
43           A list of files in the archive.
44
45       mime_type
46            my $mime_type = $archive->mime_type();
47
48           Returns the mime type of the archive.
49
50       is_impolite
51             my $is_impolite = $archive->is_impolite;
52
53           Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack into the current
54           directory rather than create its own.
55
56       is_naughty
57             my $is_naughty = $archive->is_naughty;
58
59           Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack outside the
60           current directory.
61

DEPRECATED

63       type
64             my $type = $archive->type;
65
66           Returns the type of archive.  This method is provided for backwards
67           compatibility in the Tar and Zip plugins and will be going away
68           soon in favor of "mime_type".
