NAME

CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive::Tar - Provide consistent interface to Archive::Tar

SYNOPSIS

use CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive::Tar;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $resp = $ua->get( ... );
my $tar = CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Archive::Tar->new(
    content => \( $resp->content() ),
    encoding => $resp->header( 'Content-Encoding' ),
);

DESCRIPTION

This class is a subclass of Archive::Tar, provided for the convenience of CPAN::Access::AdHoc. It is private to the CPAN-Access-AdHoc package.

METHODS

This class supports the following public methods over and above those supported by its superclass:

new

This override of the superclass' new() method instantiates the object, and possibly loads it. There are two supported arguments:

content

This is the content to be loaded into the object. A scalar reference is assumed to be the literal content. A non-reference is assumed to be the file name. Any other value is unsupported.

However specified, the content must represent a valid tar file.

encoding

This is the MIME encoding of the content. It is ignored if the content is not present. Encodings 'gzip' and 'x-bzip2' are supported. If not present, the content is assumed not to be encoded.

get_item_content

This method returns the content of the named item in the archive. It is simply a wrapper for Archive::Tar->get_content().

list_contents

This method lists the contents of the archive. It is simply a wrapper for Archive::Tar->list_files().
