Archive::Extract is a generic archive extraction mechanism. This module has a similar interface to Archive::Extract, but instead of using Perl modules and external commands, it uses the libarchive C libary (<http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/>), wh...

"Archive::SelfExtract" allows you create Perl programs out of compressed zip archives. Given a piece of code and an archive, it creates a single file which, when run, unpacks the archive and then runs the code. This module provides a function for cre...

Archive::Ar is a pure-perl way to handle standard ar archives. This is useful if you have those types of archives on the system, but it is also useful because .deb packages for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution are ar archives. This is one building b...

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_with_type = Archive::Any->new( $archive_file, $type ); $type is optional. It let...

This is a module for the handling of rar archives. Locates the rar command (from PATH or from regedit for Win32) and encapsulate it to create, extract and list rar archives. *Note:* There are a few things that have gone awry. Have a look at the Archi...

libarchive <https://www.libarchive.org> is a multi-format archive and compression library. This module provides Perl bindings to the libarchive API. WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be approp...

Archive::Tar provides an object oriented mechanism for handling tar files. It provides class methods for quick and easy files handling while also allowing for the creation of tar file objects for custom manipulation. If you have the IO::Zlib module i...

The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate, read, and write Zip archive files. Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files. Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or strings. Members can...

Archive::Chm is a module that provides access to Microsoft Compiled HTML Help files (chm files). A lot of today's software ships with documentation in .chm format. However Microsoft only provides viewing tools for their own OS and the company doesn't...

Archive::RPM provides a more complete method of accessing an RPM's meta- and actual data. We access this information by leveraging RPM2 where we can, and by "exploding" the rpm (with rpm2cpio and cpio) when we need information we can't get through RP...

Archive::Probe is a generic utility to search or extract archives. It facilitates searching of particular file by name or content inside deeply nested archive with mixed types. It can also extract embedded archive inside the master archive recursivel...

SQLite (and the Perl module for it DBD::SQLite) is an extremely handy database for storing various types of simple information. However, as SQLite has developed, the binary structure of the SQLite database format itself has changed and evolved, and c...

The "Archive::TarGzip" module provides "tar" subroutine to archive a list of files in an archive file in the tar format. The archive file may be optionally compressed using the gzip compression routines. The "Archive::TarGzip" module also provides a ...

This describes the interface for storing and retrieving facts. Implementations must provide the "store", "extract", "delete", "iterator" and "initialize" methods. "initialize" must be idempotent. "iterator" must return a Data::Stream::Bulk object....

AnnoCPAN is expected to handle both tar.gz and zip archives. Archive::Tar and Archive::Zip take care of accessing those types of files, but they have different interfaces. AnnoCPAN::Archive provides a common interface to the very few methods that are...

Archive::Tar::Files provides a neat little object layer for in-memory extracted files. It's mostly used internally in Archive::Tar to tidy up the code, but there's no reason users shouldn't use this API as well. Accessors A lot of the methods in this...

This is a fork of Archive::Any by Michael Schwern and Clint Moore. The main difference is this works properly even when you fork(), and may require less memory to extract a tarball. On the other hand, this isn't pluggable (this only supports file for...
