--ident

Prints program identification.

--verbose

--quiet

package

The package to process. This must be an archive file created by PAR.

DESCRIPTION

This program will read the archive file and unpack it into the destination directory.

First the embedded files are extracted to $dest/lib.

Then the remainder of the PAR is processed as a ZIP archive:

• lib/ files are extracted to $dest/lib;

• shlib/ files are extracted to $dest;

• The rest is extracted as is.

The resultant file tree is suitable to build a ppl (Portable Perl Loader) kit.
