NAME

       Archive::Any - Single interface to deal with file archives.

SYNOPSIS

         use Archive::Any;

         my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);

         my @files = $archive->files;

         $archive->extract;

         my $type = $archive->type;

         $archive->is_impolite;
         $archive->is_naughty;

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a single interface for manipulating different archive formats.  Tarballs,
       zip files, etc.

       new
             my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);
             my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file, $type);

           $type is optional.  It lets you force the file type in-case Archive::Any can't figure
           it out.

       extract
             $archive->extract;
             $archive->extract($directory);

           Extracts the files in the archive to the given $directory.  If no $directory is given,
           it will go into the current working directory.

       files
             my @file = $archive->files;

           A list of files in the archive.

       mime_type
            my $mime_type = $archive->mime_type();

           Returns the mime type of the archive.

       is_impolite
             my $is_impolite = $archive->is_impolite;

           Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack into the current directory rather
           than create its own.

       is_naughty
             my $is_naughty = $archive->is_naughty;

           Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack outside the current directory.

DEPRECATED

       type
             my $type = $archive->type;

           Returns the type of archive.  This method is provided for backwards compatibility in
           the Tar and Zip plugins and will be going away soon in favor of "mime_type".
