Dist::Metadata::Archive(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Metadata::Archive(3pm)NAMEDist::Metadata::Archive - Base class for Dist::Metadata archive filesVERSIONversion 0.923SYNOPSISmy $dist = Dist::Metadata->new(file => $path_to_archive);DESCRIPTIONThis is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable determining the metadata from an archive file. It is a base class for archive file formats: o Dist::Metadata::Tar o Dist::Metadata::Zip It's not useful on it's own and should be used from "new" in Dist::Metadata.METHODSnew $dist = Dist::Metadata::Archive->new(file => $path); Accepts a single "file" argument that should be a path to a file. If called from this base class "new()" will delegate to a subclass based on the filename and return a blessed instance of that subclass. archive Returns an object representing the archive file. default_file_spec Returns "Unix" since most archive files are be in unix format. determine_name_and_version Attempts to parse name and version from file name. file The "file" attribute passed to the constructor, used to load "archive". read_archive $dist->read_archive($file); Returns a format-specific object representing the specified file. This must be defined by subclasses.AUTHORRandy Stauner <rwstauner@cpan.org>COPYRIGHT AND LICENSEThis software is copyright (c) 2011 by Randy Stauner.
