Archive::Rar - Interface with the 'rar' command

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

SYNOPSIS

Top

 use Archive::Rar;
 my $rar = Archive::Rar->new();
 $rar->Add(
	-size => $size_of_parts,
	-archive => $archive_filename,
	-files => \@list_of_files,
 );

To extract files from archive:

 use Archive::Rar;
 my $rar = Archive::Rar->new( -archive => $archive );
 $rar->List( );
 my $res = $rar->Extract( );
 print "Error $res in extracting from $archive\n" if ( $res );

To list archived files:

 use Archive::Rar;
 my $rar = Archive::Rar->new( -archive => $archive );
 $rar->List( );
 $rar->PrintList( );

Using further options:

 use Archive::Rar;
 my $rar = Archive::Rar->new( -archive => $archive );
 my $res = $rar->Extract(-donotoverwrite => 1, -quiet => 1 );
 print "Error $res in extracting from $archive\n" if ( $res );

DESCRIPTION

Top

This is a module for the handling of rar archives.

Locates the rar command (from PATH or from regedit for Win32) and encapsulate it to create, extract and list rar archives.

Note: There are a few things that have gone awry. Have a look at the Archive::Rar::Passthrough module that is part of this distribution. It is a lower-level interface to the rar command, but it does some things in a safer way than this module (namely shell escaping or lack thereof).

At the moment these methods are implemented:

new()

Returns a new Rar object. You can pass defaults options.

Add(%options)

Add file to an archive.

Extract(%options)

Extract the contains of an archive.

List(%options)

Fill the 'list' variable of the object whith the index of an archive. Returns 0 on success or a numerical error code.

PrintList(%options)

Prints the file contents list that was previously generated using List() to STDOUT.

GetBareList(%options)

Returns an array with the file contents list that was previously generated using List(). Adding the -excludepaths option and setting it to true, the pathnames will be excluded and a simple basename of the listed files will be returned.

OPTIONS

Top

-archive

Archive filename.

-files

List of files to add. You can use a scalar value or an array reference.

-quiet

No output for the rar command if True.

-sfx

Create self-extracting archive.

-size

Size of the parts in bytes.

-verbose

Level of verbosity.

-excludepaths

Exclude paths from names.

-donotoverwrite

Do not overwrite existing files if True.

-lowprio

For Unix-like systems only, this options runs the extraction with low scheduling priority, if Ture.

KNOWN BUGS

Top

As of the current version, the system commands calling 'rar' are assembled as a string. This means that some parameters which take a string may have problems with shell quoting.
