NAME
Archive::Any::Plugin - Anatomy of an Archive::Any plugin.
SYNOPSIS
Explains what is required for a working plugin to Archive::Any.
PLUGINS
Archive::Any requires that your plugin define three methods, all of which are passed the absolute filename of the file. This module uses
the source of Archive::Any::Plugin::Tar as an example.
Subclass Archive::Any::Plugin
use base 'Archive::Any::Plugin';
can_handle
This returns an array of mime types that the plugin can handle.
sub can_handle {
return(
'application/x-tar',
'application/x-gtar',
'application/x-gzip',
);
}
files
Return a list of items inside the archive.
sub files {
my( $self, $file ) = @_;
my $t = Archive::Tar->new( $file );
return $t->list_files;
}
extract
This method should extract the contents of $file to the current directory. Archive::Any::Plugin handles negotiating directories for
you.
sub extract {
my ( $self, $file ) = @_;
my $t = Archive::Tar->new( $file );
return $t->extract;
}
