WARNING

This is experimental software for the moment and under active development. I hope to have a beta version available soon.

NAME

Archive::BagIt - An interface to make and verify bags according to the BagIt standard

VERSION

Version 0.02_4

SYNOPSIS

This modules will hopefully help with the basic commands needed to create and verify a bag. My intention is not to be strict and enforce all of the specification. The reference implementation is the java version and I will endeavour to maintain compatibility with it.

use Archive::BagIt;

#read in an existing bag:
my $bag = Archive::BagIt->new($bag_dir);


#construct bag in an existing directory
my $bag = Archive::BagIt->make_bag($bag_dir);

# Validate a BagIt archive against its manifest
my $bag = Archive::BagIt->new($bag_dir);
$is_valid = $bag->verify_bag($root);

SUBROUTINES

new An Object Oriented Interface to a bag. Opens an existing bag.

make_bag A constructor that will make and return a bag from a directory

If a data directory exists, assume it is already a bag (no checking for invalid files in root)

verify_bag

An interface to verify a bag

get_checksum

version

Returns the bagit version according to the bagit.txt file.
