NAME
CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract - internals for archive extraction
SYNOPSIS
### for source files ### $self->_gunzip( file => 'foo.gz', output => 'blah.txt' ); ### for modules/packages ### $dir = $self->_extract( module => $modobj, extractdir => '/some/where' );
DESCRIPTION
CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract extracts compressed files for CPANPLUS. It can do this by either a pure perl solution (preferred) with the use of "Archive::Tar" and "Compress::Zlib", or with binaries, like "gzip" and "tar".
The flow looks like this:
$cb->_extract Delegate to Archive::Extract
METHODS
$dir = _extract( module => $modobj, [perl => '/path/to/perl', extractdir => '/path/to/extract/to', prefer_bin => BOOL, verbose => BOOL, force => BOOL] )
"_extract" will take a module object and extract it to "extractdir" if provided, or the default location which is obtained from your config.
The file name is obtained by looking at "$modobj->status->fetch" and will be parsed to see if it's a tar or zip archive.
If it's a zip archive, "__unzip" will be called, otherwise "__untar" will be called. In the unlikely event the file is of neither format, an error will be thrown.
"_extract" takes the following options:
- module
- A "CPANPLUS::Module" object. This is required.
- extractdir
- The directory to extract the archive to. By default this looks something
like:
/CPANPLUS_BASE/PERL_VERSION/BUILD/MODULE_NAME - prefer_bin
- A flag indicating whether you prefer a pure perl solution, ie "Archive::Tar" or "Archive::Zip" respectively, or a binary solution like "unzip" and "tar".
- perl
- The path to the perl executable to use for any perl calls. Also used to determine the build version directory for extraction.
- verbose
- Specifies whether to be verbose or not. Defaults to your corresponding config entry.
- force
- Specifies whether to force the extraction or not. Defaults to your corresponding config entry.
All other options are passed on verbatim to "__unzip" or "__untar".
Returns the directory the file was extracted to on success and false on failure.
