NAME

       Archive::Any::Plugin - Anatomy of an Archive::Any plugin.

VERSION

       version 0.0945

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;
            }
