archivers/p5-Archive-Zip 1.68 OpenBSD

The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate, read, and write Zip archive files.

Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files. Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or strings.

Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and enumerated. They can also be renamed or have their dates, comments, or other attributes queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or uncompressed as needed. Members can be created from members in existing Zip files, or from existing directories, files, or strings.

This module uses the Compress::Zlib library to read and write the compressed streams inside the files.

See Archive::Zip::Tree for easy operations on directories full of files, or on entire Zip files. This is included in the Archive::Zip distribution.
