NAME

       CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract - internals for archive extraction

SYNOPSIS

           ### for source files ###
           $self->_gunzip( file => 'foo.gz', output => 'blah.txt' );

           ### for modules/packages ###
           $dir = $self->_extract( module      => $modobj,
                                   extractdir  => '/some/where' );

DESCRIPTION

       CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract extracts compressed files for CPANPLUS.  It can do this by
       either a pure perl solution (preferred) with the use of "Archive::Tar" and
       "Compress::Zlib", or with binaries, like "gzip" and "tar".

       The flow looks like this:

           $cb->_extract
               Delegate to Archive::Extract

METHODS

   $dir = _extract( module => $modobj, [perl => '/path/to/perl', extractdir =>
       '/path/to/extract/to', prefer_bin => BOOL, verbose => BOOL, force => BOOL] )
       "_extract" will take a module object and extract it to "extractdir" if provided, or the
       default location which is obtained from your config.

       The file name is obtained by looking at "$modobj->status->fetch" and will be parsed to see
       if it's a tar or zip archive.

       If it's a zip archive, "__unzip" will be called, otherwise "__untar" will be called. In
       the unlikely event the file is of neither format, an error will be thrown.

       "_extract" takes the following options:

       module
           A "CPANPLUS::Module" object. This is required.

       extractdir
           The directory to extract the archive to. By default this looks something like:
               /CPANPLUS_BASE/PERL_VERSION/BUILD/MODULE_NAME

       prefer_bin
           A flag indicating whether you prefer a pure perl solution, ie "Archive::Tar" or
           "Archive::Zip" respectively, or a binary solution like "unzip" and "tar".

       perl
           The path to the perl executable to use for any perl calls. Also used to determine the
           build version directory for extraction.

       verbose
           Specifies whether to be verbose or not. Defaults to your corresponding config entry.

       force
           Specifies whether to force the extraction or not. Defaults to your corresponding
           config entry.

       All other options are passed on verbatim to "__unzip" or "__untar".

       Returns the directory the file was extracted to on success and false on failure.
