Severity: wishlist
I am really surprized there is no Archive::Ar module in Debian
repository. Well, RFP follows.
* Package name : libarchive-ar-perl
Version : 1.13b

Description : Interface for manipulating ar archives
Archive::Ar is a pure-perl way to handle standard ar archives.
This is useful if you have those types of old archives on the system,
but it is also useful because .deb packages for the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution are ar archives. This is one building block in a future
chain of modules to build, manipulate, extract, and test debian modules
with no platform or architecture dependence.
You may notice that the API to Archive::Ar is similar to Archive::Tar,
and this was done intentionally to keep similarity between the
Archive::* modules
