Seems illogical to me.
When working on complex programming, I often take the backup even more seriously. I sequentially number versions to help me go back and find prior logic.
cp GreatScript GreatScript.v001
then continue editing GreatScript, until I get to another good spot and
cp GreatScript GreatScript.v002
and continue with this process.
Eventually, I often create an Archive folder, and then mv GreatScript.v* ../Archive
Sometimes, it is only apparent much later on that there was a major mistake in coding - and a need to go back further than only one version. Plus, while developing, I always feel better knowing more than one backup copy.

Dear Guru's
I'm using Putty and want to edit a file. I know we generally use vi editor to do it. As I'm not good in using vi editor, I want to convert the vi into something like text pad. Is there any option in Putty to do the same ? Thanks for your response.

archive::any
Archive::Any(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Archive::Any(3pm)
NAME
Archive::Any - Single interface to deal with file archives.
SYNOPSIS
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;
DESCRIPTION
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.
DEPRECATED
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".
PLUGINS
For detailed information on writing plugins to work with Archive::Any, please see the pod documentation for Archive::Any::Plugin.
