The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Archive::Any
DSLIP: adpOp
description: Single interface to deal with zips and tars
userid: MSCHWERN (Michael G Schwern)
chapterid: 17 (Archiving_and_Compression)
communities:
similar:
It's a wrapper around Archive::Tar & Archive::Zip
rationale:
Archive::Any magically deals with any (well, has the potential to
anyway) archive format. The namespace obviously follows from
Archive::Zip and Archive::Tar and it's just a thin interface wrapper
around them.
I got sick of having to write
if( $type eq 'zip' ) { ...do something with Archive::Zip... }
elsif( $type eq 'tar' ) { ...do something with Archive::Tar... }
all over the place.
