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 0.03

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();

SUBROUTINES
