NAME

6       Dist::Metadata::Archive - Base class for Dist::Metadata archive files
7

VERSION

9       version 0.927
10

SYNOPSIS

12         my $dist = Dist::Metadata->new(file => $path_to_archive);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable determining the
16       metadata from an archive file.
17
18       It is a base class for archive file formats:
19
20       ·   Dist::Metadata::Tar
21
22       ·   Dist::Metadata::Zip
23
24       It's not useful on it's own and should be used from "new" in
25       Dist::Metadata.
26

METHODS

28   new
29         $dist = Dist::Metadata::Archive->new(file => $path);
30
31       Accepts a single "file" argument that should be a path to a file.
32
33       If called from this base class "new()" will delegate to a subclass
34       based on the filename and return a blessed instance of that subclass.
35
36   archive
37       Returns an object representing the archive file.
38
39   default_file_spec
40       Returns "Unix" since most archive files are be in unix format.
41
42   determine_name_and_version
43       Attempts to parse name and version from file name.
44
45   file
46       The "file" attribute passed to the constructor, used to load "archive".
47
48   read_archive
49         $dist->read_archive($file);
50
51       Returns a format-specific object representing the specified file.
52
53       This must be defined by subclasses.
