Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)


NAME
       Archive::Zip - Provide an interface to ZIP archive files.

SYNOPSIS
          # Create a Zip file
          use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );
          my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

          # Add a directory
          my $dir_member = $zip->addDirectory( 'dirname/' );

          # Add a file from a string with compression
          my $string_member = $zip->addString( 'This is a test', 'stringMember.txt' );
          $string_member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );

          # Add a file from disk
          my $file_member = $zip->addFile( 'xyz.pl', 'AnotherName.pl' );

          # Save the Zip file
          unless ( $zip->writeToFileNamed('someZip.zip') == AZ_OK ) {
              die 'write error';
          }

          # Read a Zip file
          my $somezip = Archive::Zip->new();
          unless ( $somezip->read( 'someZip.zip' ) == AZ_OK ) {
              die 'read error';
          }

          # Change the compression type for a file in the Zip
          my $member = $somezip->memberNamed( 'stringMember.txt' );
          $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
          unless ( $zip->writeToFileNamed( 'someOtherZip.zip' ) == AZ_OK ) {
              die 'write error';
          }

DESCRIPTION
       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::Raw::Zlib library to read

       and write the compressed streams inside the files.

       One can use Archive::Zip::MemberRead to read the zip file
       archive members as if they were files.

       File Naming

       Regardless of what your local file system uses for file
       naming, names in a Zip file are in Unix format (forward
       slashes (/) separating directory names, etc.).

       "Archive::Zip" tries to be consistent with file naming
       conventions, and will translate back and forth between
       native and Zip file names.

       However, it can't guess which format names are in. So two
       rules control what kind of file name you must pass various
       routines:

       Names of files are in local format.
           "File::Spec" and "File::Basename" are used for various
           file operations. When you're referring to a file on
           your system, use its file naming conventions.

       Names of archive members are in Unix format.
           This applies to every method that refers to an archive
           member, or provides a name for new archive members.
           The "extract()" methods that can take one or two names
           will convert from local to zip names if you call them
           with a single name.

       Archive::Zip Object Model


       Overview

       Archive::Zip::Archive objects are what you ordinarily deal
       with.  These maintain the structure of a zip file, without
       necessarily holding data. When a zip is read from a disk
       file, the (possibly compressed) data still lives in the
       file, not in memory. Archive members hold information
       about the individual members, but not (usually) the actual
       member data. When the zip is written to a (different)
       file, the member data is compressed or copied as needed.
       It is possible to make archive members whose data is held
       in a string in memory, but this is not done when a zip
       file is read. Directory members don't have any data.

ERROR CODES
       Many of the methods in Archive::Zip return error codes.
       These are implemented as inline subroutines, using the
       "use constant" pragma. They can be imported into your
       namespace using the ":ERROR_CODES" tag:

         use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES );

         }

       AZ_OK (0)
           Everything is fine.

       AZ_STREAM_END (1)
           The read stream (or central directory) ended normally.

       AZ_ERROR (2)
           There was some generic kind of error.

       AZ_FORMAT_ERROR (3)
           There is a format error in a ZIP file being read.

       AZ_IO_ERROR (4)
           There was an IO error.

       Compression

       Archive::Zip allows each member of a ZIP file to be
       compressed (using the Deflate algorithm) or uncompressed.

       Other compression algorithms that some versions of ZIP
       have been able to produce are not supported. Each member
       has two compression methods: the one it's stored as (this
       is always COMPRESSION_STORED for string and external file
       members), and the one you desire for the member in the zip
       file.

       These can be different, of course, so you can make a zip
       member that is not compressed out of one that is, and vice
       versa.

       You can inquire about the current compression and set the
       desired compression method:

         my $member = $zip->memberNamed( 'xyz.txt' );
         $member->compressionMethod();    # return current compression

         # set to read uncompressed
         $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );

         # set to read compressed
         $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );

       There are two different compression methods:

       COMPRESSION_STORED
           File is stored (no compression)




perl v5.10.0                2009-06-30                          4





Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)


       COMPRESSION_DEFLATED
           File is Deflated

       Compression Levels

       If a member's desiredCompressionMethod is
       COMPRESSION_DEFLATED, you can choose different compression
       levels. This choice may affect the speed of compression
       and decompression, as well as the size of the compressed
       member data.

         $member->desiredCompressionLevel( 9 );

       The levels given can be:

       0 or COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE
           This is the same as saying

             $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );

       1 .. 9
           1 gives the best speed and worst compression, and 9
           gives the best compression and worst speed.

       COMPRESSION_LEVEL_FASTEST
           This is a synonym for level 1.

       COMPRESSION_LEVEL_BEST_COMPRESSION
           This is a synonym for level 9.

       COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT
           This gives a good compromise between speed and
           compression, and is currently equivalent to 6 (this is
           in the zlib code).  This is the level that will be
           used if not specified.

Archive::Zip Methods
       The Archive::Zip class (and its invisible subclass
       Archive::Zip::Archive) implement generic zip file
       functionality. Creating a new Archive::Zip object actually
       makes an Archive::Zip::Archive object, but you don't have
       to worry about this unless you're subclassing.

       Constructor


       new( [$fileName] )
           Make a new, empty zip archive.

               my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

           If an additional argument is passed, new() will call
           read() to read the contents of an archive:




perl v5.10.0                2009-06-30                          5





Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)


               my $zip = Archive::Zip->new( 'xyz.zip' );

           If a filename argument is passed and the read fails
           for any reason, new will return undef. For this
           reason, it may be better to call read separately.

       Zip Archive Utility Methods

       These Archive::Zip methods may be called as functions or
       as object methods. Do not call them as class methods:

           $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
           $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' );    # OK
           $crc = $zip->computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' );            # also OK
           $crc = Archive::Zip->computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' );    # NOT OK

       Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( $string [, $crc] )
           This is a utility function that uses the
           Compress::Raw::Zlib CRC routine to compute a CRC-32.
           You can get the CRC of a string:

               $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( $string );

           Or you can compute the running CRC:

               $crc = 0;
               $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'abcdef', $crc );
               $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'ghijkl', $crc );

       Archive::Zip::setChunkSize( $number )
           Report or change chunk size used for reading and
           writing.  This can make big differences in dealing
           with large files.  Currently, this defaults to 32K.
           This also changes the chunk size used for
           Compress::Raw::Zlib. You must call setChunkSize()
           before reading or writing. This is not exportable, so
           you must call it like:

               Archive::Zip::setChunkSize( 4096 );

           or as a method on a zip (though this is a global
           setting).  Returns old chunk size.

       Archive::Zip::chunkSize()
           Returns the current chunk size:

               my $chunkSize = Archive::Zip::chunkSize();

       Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( \&subroutine )
           Change the subroutine called with error strings. This
           defaults to \&Carp::carp, but you may want to change
           it to get the error strings. This is not exportable,
           so you must call it like:




perl v5.10.0                2009-06-30                          6





Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)


               Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( \&myErrorHandler );

           If myErrorHandler is undef, resets handler to default.
           Returns old error handler. Note that if you call
           Carp::carp or a similar routine or if you're chaining
           to the default error handler from your error handler,
           you may want to increment the number of caller levels
           that are skipped (do not just set it to a number):

               $Carp::CarpLevel++;

       Archive::Zip::tempFile( [$tmpdir] )
           Create a uniquely named temp file. It will be returned
           open for read/write. If $tmpdir is given, it is used
           as the name of a directory to create the file in. If
           not given, creates the file using
           "File::Spec::tmpdir()". Generally, you can override
           this choice using the

               $ENV{TMPDIR}

           environment variable. But see the File::Spec
           documentation for your system. Note that on many
           systems, if you're running in taint mode, then you
           must make sure that $ENV{TMPDIR} is untainted for it
           to be used.  Will NOT create $tmpdir if it doesn't
           exist (this is a change from prior versions!). Returns
           file handle and name:

               my ($fh, $name) = Archive::Zip::tempFile();
               my ($fh, $name) = Archive::Zip::tempFile('myTempDir');
               my $fh = Archive::Zip::tempFile();  # if you don't need the name

       Zip Archive Accessors


       members()
           Return a copy of the members array

               my @members = $zip->members();

       numberOfMembers()
           Return the number of members I have

       memberNames()
           Return a list of the (internal) file names of the zip
           members

       memberNamed( $string )
           Return ref to member whose filename equals given
           filename or undef. $string must be in Zip (Unix)
           filename format.

       membersMatching( $regex )
           Return array of members whose filenames match given
           regular expression in list context. Returns number of
           matching members in scalar context.

               my @textFileMembers = $zip->membersMatching( '.*\.txt' );
               # or
               my $numberOfTextFiles = $zip->membersMatching( '.*\.txt' );

       diskNumber()
           Return the disk that I start on. Not used for writing
           zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in.
           This should be 0, as Archive::Zip does not handle
           multi-volume archives.

       diskNumberWithStartOfCentralDirectory()
           Return the disk number that holds the beginning of the
           central directory. Not used for writing zips, but
           might be interesting if you read a zip in. This should
           be 0, as Archive::Zip does not handle multi-volume
           archives.

       numberOfCentralDirectoriesOnThisDisk()
           Return the number of CD structures in the zipfile last
           read in.  Not used for writing zips, but might be
           interesting if you read a zip in.

       numberOfCentralDirectories()
           Return the number of CD structures in the zipfile last
           read in.  Not used for writing zips, but might be
           interesting if you read a zip in.

       centralDirectorySize()
           Returns central directory size, as read from an
           external zip file. Not used for writing zips, but
           might be interesting if you read a zip in.

       centralDirectoryOffsetWRTStartingDiskNumber()
           Returns the offset into the zip file where the CD
           begins. Not used for writing zips, but might be
           interesting if you read a zip in.

       zipfileComment( [$string] )
           Get or set the zipfile comment. Returns the old
           comment.

               print $zip->zipfileComment();
               $zip->zipfileComment( 'New Comment' );

       eocdOffset()
           Returns the (unexpected) number of bytes between where
           the EOCD was found and where it expected to be. This
           is normally 0, but would be positive if something (a
           virus, perhaps) had added bytes somewhere before the

Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)


           EOCD. Not used for writing zips, but might be
           interesting if you read a zip in. Here is an example
           of how you can diagnose this:

             my $zip = Archive::Zip->new('somefile.zip');
             if ($zip->eocdOffset())
             {
               warn "A virus has added ", $zip->eocdOffset, " bytes of garbage\n";
             }

           The "eocdOffset()" is used to adjust the starting
           position of member headers, if necessary.

       fileName()
           Returns the name of the file last read from. If
           nothing has been read yet, returns an empty string; if
           read from a file handle, returns the handle in string
           form.

       Zip Archive Member Operations

       Various operations on a zip file modify members. When a
       member is passed as an argument, you can either use a
       reference to the member itself, or the name of a member.
       Of course, using the name requires that names be unique
       within a zip (this is not enforced).

       removeMember( $memberOrName )
           Remove and return the given member, or match its name
           and remove it. Returns undef if member or name doesn't
           exist in this Zip. No-op if member does not belong to
           this zip.

       replaceMember( $memberOrName, $newMember )
           Remove and return the given member, or match its name
           and remove it. Replace with new member. Returns undef
           if member or name doesn't exist in this Zip, or if
           $newMember is undefined.

           It is an (undiagnosed) error to provide a $newMember
           that is a member of the zip being modified.

               my $member1 = $zip->removeMember( 'xyz' );
               my $member2 = $zip->replaceMember( 'abc', $member1 );
               # now, $member2 (named 'abc') is not in $zip,
               # and $member1 (named 'xyz') is, having taken $member2's place.

       extractMember( $memberOrName [, $extractedName ] )
           Extract the given member, or match its name and
           extract it.  Returns undef if member doesn't exist in
           this Zip. If optional second arg is given, use it as
           the name of the extracted member. Otherwise, the
           internal filename of the member is used as the name of
           the extracted file or directory.  If you pass

           $extractedName, it should be in the local file
           system's format.  All necessary directories will be
           created. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.

       extractMemberWithoutPaths( $memberOrName [, $extractedName
       ] )
           Extract the given member, or match its name and
           extract it.  Does not use path information (extracts
           into the current directory). Returns undef if member
           doesn't exist in this Zip.  If optional second arg is
           given, use it as the name of the extracted member (its
           paths will be deleted too). Otherwise, the internal
           filename of the member (minus paths) is used as the
           name of the extracted file or directory. Returns
           "AZ_OK" on success.

       addMember( $member )
           Append a member (possibly from another zip file) to
           the zip file. Returns the new member. Generally, you
           will use addFile(), addDirectory(),
           addFileOrDirectory(), addString(), or read() to add
           members.

               # Move member named 'abc' to end of zip:
               my $member = $zip->removeMember( 'abc' );
               $zip->addMember( $member );

       updateMember( $memberOrName, $fileName )
           Update a single member from the file or directory
           named $fileName.  Returns the (possibly added or
           updated) member, if any; "undef" on errors.  The
           comparison is based on "lastModTime()" and (in the
           case of a non-directory) the size of the file.

       addFile( $fileName [, $newName ] )
           Append a member whose data comes from an external
           file, returning the member or undef. The member will
           have its file name set to the name of the external
           file, and its desiredCompressionMethod set to
           COMPRESSION_DEFLATED. The file attributes and last
           modification time will be set from the file.  If the
           name given does not represent a readable plain file or
           symbolic link, undef will be returned. $fileName must
           be in the format required for the local file system.
           The optional $newName argument sets the internal file
           name to something different than the given $fileName.
           $newName, if given, must be in Zip name format (i.e.
           Unix).  The text mode bit will be set if the contents
           appears to be text (as returned by the "-T" perl
           operator).

           NOTE that you shouldn't (generally) use absolute path
           names in zip member names, as this will cause problems
           with some zip tools as well as introduce a security

           hole and make the zip harder to use.

       addDirectory( $directoryName [, $fileName ] )
           Append a member created from the given directory name.
           The directory name does not have to name an existing
           directory.  If the named directory exists, the file
           modification time and permissions are set from the
           existing directory, otherwise they are set to now and
           permissive default permissions.  $directoryName must
           be in local file system format.  The optional second
           argument sets the name of the archive member (which
           defaults to $directoryName). If given, it must be in
           Zip (Unix) format.  Returns the new member.

       addFileOrDirectory( $name [, $newName ] )
           Append a member from the file or directory named
           $name. If $newName is given, use it for the name of
           the new member.  Will add or remove trailing slashes
           from $newName as needed.  $name must be in local file
           system format.  The optional second argument sets the
           name of the archive member (which defaults to $name).
           If given, it must be in Zip (Unix) format.

       addString( $stringOrStringRef, $name )
           Append a member created from the given string or
           string reference. The name is given by the second
           argument.  Returns the new member. The last
           modification time will be set to now, and the file
           attributes will be set to permissive defaults.

               my $member = $zip->addString( 'This is a test', 'test.txt' );

       contents( $memberOrMemberName [, $newContents ] )
           Returns the uncompressed data for a particular member,
           or undef.

               print "xyz.txt contains " . $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt' );

           Also can change the contents of a member:

               $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt', 'This is the new contents' );

           If called expecting an array as the return value, it
           will include the status as the second value in the
           array.

               ($content, $status) = $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt');

       Zip Archive I/O operations

       A Zip archive can be written to a file or file handle, or
       read from one.

Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)


       writeToFileNamed( $fileName )
           Write a zip archive to named file. Returns "AZ_OK" on
           success.

               my $status = $zip->writeToFileNamed( 'xx.zip' );
               die "error somewhere" if $status != AZ_OK;

           Note that if you use the same name as an existing zip
           file that you read in, you will clobber
           ZipFileMembers. So instead, write to a different file
           name, then delete the original.  If you use the
           "overwrite()" or "overwriteAs()" methods, you can re-
           write the original zip in this way.  $fileName should
           be a valid file name on your system.

       writeToFileHandle( $fileHandle [, $seekable] )
           Write a zip archive to a file handle. Return AZ_OK on
           success. The optional second arg tells whether or not
           to try to seek backwards to re-write headers. If not
           provided, it is set if the Perl "-f" test returns
           true. This could fail on some operating systems,
           though.

               my $fh = IO::File->new( 'someFile.zip', 'w' );
               unless ( $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh ) == AZ_OK ) {
                   # error handling
               }

           If you pass a file handle that is not seekable (like
           if you're writing to a pipe or a socket), pass a false
           second argument:

               my $fh = IO::File->new( '| cat > somefile.zip', 'w' );
               $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh, 0 );   # fh is not seekable

           If this method fails during the write of a member,
           that member and all following it will return false
           from "wasWritten()". See writeCentralDirectory() for a
           way to deal with this.  If you want, you can write
           data to the file handle before passing it to
           writeToFileHandle(); this could be used (for instance)
           for making self-extracting archives. However, this
           only works reliably when writing to a real file (as
           opposed to STDOUT or some other possible non-file).

           See examples/selfex.pl for how to write a self-
           extracting archive.

       writeCentralDirectory( $fileHandle [, $offset ] )
           Writes the central directory structure to the given
           file handle.

           Returns AZ_OK on success. If given an $offset, will
           seek to that point before writing. This can be used

           for recovery in cases where writeToFileHandle or
           writeToFileNamed returns an IO error because of
           running out of space on the destination file.

           You can truncate the zip by seeking backwards and then
           writing the directory:

               my $fh = IO::File->new( 'someFile.zip', 'w' );
                   my $retval = $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh );
               if ( $retval == AZ_IO_ERROR ) {
                   my @unwritten = grep { not $_->wasWritten() } $zip->members();
                   if (@unwritten) {
                       $zip->removeMember( $member ) foreach my $member ( @unwritten );
                       $zip->writeCentralDirectory( $fh,
                       $unwritten[0]->writeLocalHeaderRelativeOffset());
                   }
               }

       overwriteAs( $newName )
           Write the zip to the specified file, as safely as
           possible.  This is done by first writing to a temp
           file, then renaming the original if it exists, then
           renaming the temp file, then deleting the renamed
           original if it exists. Returns AZ_OK if successful.

       overwrite()
           Write back to the original zip file. See overwriteAs()
           above.  If the zip was not ever read from a file, this
           generates an error.

       read( $fileName )
           Read zipfile headers from a zip file, appending new
           members.  Returns "AZ_OK" or error code.

               my $zipFile = Archive::Zip->new();
               my $status = $zipFile->read( '/some/FileName.zip' );

       readFromFileHandle( $fileHandle, $filename )
           Read zipfile headers from an already-opened file
           handle, appending new members. Does not close the file
           handle.  Returns "AZ_OK" or error code. Note that this
           requires a seekable file handle; reading from a stream
           is not yet supported.

               my $fh = IO::File->new( '/some/FileName.zip', 'r' );
               my $zip1 = Archive::Zip->new();
               my $status = $zip1->readFromFileHandle( $fh );
               my $zip2 = Archive::Zip->new();

         use Archive::Zip;
         my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

         # add all readable files and directories below . as xyz/*
         $zip->addTree( '.', 'xyz' );

         # add all readable plain files below /abc as def/*
         $zip->addTree( '/abc', 'def', sub { -f && -r } );

         # add all .c files below /tmp as stuff/*
         $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.c$' );

         # add all .o files below /tmp as stuff/* if they aren't writable
         $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.o$', sub { ! -w } );

         # add all .so files below /tmp that are smaller than 200 bytes as stuff/*
         $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.o$', sub { -s < 200 } );

         # and write them into a file
         $zip->writeToFileNamed('xxx.zip');

         # now extract the same files into /tmpx
         $zip->extractTree( 'stuff', '/tmpx' );

       $zip->addTree( $root, $dest [,$pred] ) -- Add tree of
       files to a zip
           $root is the root of the tree of files and directories
           to be added. It is a valid directory name on your
           system. $dest is the name for the root in the zip file
           (undef or blank means to use relative pathnames). It
           is a valid ZIP directory name (that is, it uses
           forward slashes (/) for separating directory
           components). $pred is an optional subroutine reference
           to select files: it is passed the name of the
           prospective file or directory using $_, and if it
           returns true, the file or directory will be included.
           The default is to add all readable files and
           directories. For instance, using

             my $pred = sub { /\.txt/ };
             $zip->addTree( '.', '', $pred );

           will add all the .txt files in and below the current
           directory, using relative names, and making the names
           identical in the zipfile:

             original name           zip member name

           "addTree()", but first checks to see whether the file
           or directory already exists in the zip file, and
           whether it has been changed.

       $zip->extractTree( $root, $dest, $volume )
           If you don't give any arguments at all, will extract
           all the files in the zip with their original names.

           If you supply one argument for $root, "extractTree"
           will extract all the members whose names start with
           $root into the current directory, stripping off $root
           first.  $root is in Zip (Unix) format.  For instance,

             $zip->extractTree( 'a' );

           when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c
           ax/d/e d/e will extract:

           a/x as ./x

           a/b/c as ./b/c

           If you give two arguments, "extractTree" extracts all
           the members whose names start with $root. It will
           translate $root into $dest to construct the
           destination file name.  $root and $dest are in Zip
           (Unix) format.  For instance,

              $zip->extractTree( 'a', 'd/e' );

           when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c
           ax/d/e d/e will extract:

           a/x to d/e/x

           a/b/c to d/e/b/c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e

           If you give three arguments, "extractTree" extracts
           all the members whose names start with $root. It will
           translate $root into $dest to construct the
           destination file name, and then it will convert to
           local file system format, using $volume as the name of
           the destination volume.

           $root and $dest are in Zip (Unix) format.

           $volume is in local file system format.

           a/b/c to f:\d\e\b\c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e

           Returns an error code or AZ_OK if everything worked
           OK.

MEMBER OPERATIONS
       Member Class Methods

       Several constructors allow you to construct members
       without adding them to a zip archive. These work the same
       as the addFile(), addDirectory(), and addString() zip
       instance methods described above, but they don't add the
       new members to a zip.

       Archive::Zip::Member->newFromString( $stringOrStringRef [,
       $fileName] )
           Construct a new member from the given string. Returns
           undef on error.

               my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newFromString( 'This is a test',
                                                            'xyz.txt' );

       newFromFile( $fileName )
           Construct a new member from the given file. Returns
           undef on error.

               my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newFromFile( 'xyz.txt' );

       newDirectoryNamed( $directoryName [, $zipname ] )
           Construct a new member from the given directory.
           $directoryName must be a valid name on your file
           system; it doesn't have to exist.

           If given, $zipname will be the name of the zip member;
           it must be a valid Zip (Unix) name. If not given, it
           will be converted from $directoryName.

           Returns undef on error.

               my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newDirectoryNamed( 'CVS/' );

       Member Simple accessors

       These methods get (and/or set) member attribute values.

       versionMadeBy()
           Gets the field from the member header.

       fileAttributeFormat( [$format] )
           Gets or sets the field from the member header. These
           are "FA_*" values.

       versionNeededToExtract()
           Gets the field from the member header.

       bitFlag()
           Gets the general purpose bit field from the member
           header.  This is where the "GPBF_*" bits live.

       compressionMethod()
           Returns the member compression method. This is the
           method that is currently being used to compress the
           member data.  This will be COMPRESSION_STORED for
           added string or file members, or any of the
           "COMPRESSION_*" values for members from a zip file.
           However, this module can only handle members whose
           data is in COMPRESSION_STORED or COMPRESSION_DEFLATED
           format.

       desiredCompressionMethod( [$method] )
           Get or set the member's "desiredCompressionMethod".
           This is the compression method that will be used when
           the member is written. Returns prior
           desiredCompressionMethod. Only COMPRESSION_DEFLATED or
           COMPRESSION_STORED are valid arguments. Changing to
           COMPRESSION_STORED will change the member
           desiredCompressionLevel to 0; changing to
           COMPRESSION_DEFLATED will change the member
           desiredCompressionLevel to COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT.

       desiredCompressionLevel( [$method] )
           Get or set the member's desiredCompressionLevel This
           is the method that will be used to write. Returns
           prior desiredCompressionLevel. Valid arguments are 0
           through 9, COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE,
           COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT,
           COMPRESSION_LEVEL_BEST_COMPRESSION, and
           COMPRESSION_LEVEL_FASTEST. 0 or COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE
           will change the desiredCompressionMethod to
           COMPRESSION_STORED.  All other arguments will change
           the desiredCompressionMethod to COMPRESSION_DEFLATED.

       externalFileName()
           Return the member's external file name, if any, or
           undef.

Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)


       fileName()
           Get or set the member's internal filename. Returns the
           (possibly new) filename. Names will have backslashes
           converted to forward slashes, and will have multiple
           consecutive slashes converted to single ones.

       lastModFileDateTime()
           Return the member's last modification date/time stamp
           in MS-DOS format.

       lastModTime()
           Return the member's last modification date/time stamp,
           converted to unix localtime format.

               print "Mod Time: " . scalar( localtime( $member->lastModTime() ) );

       setLastModFileDateTimeFromUnix()
           Set the member's lastModFileDateTime from the given
           unix time.

               $member->setLastModFileDateTimeFromUnix( time() );

       internalFileAttributes()
           Return the internal file attributes field from the zip
           header. This is only set for members read from a zip
           file.

       externalFileAttributes()
           Return member attributes as read from the ZIP file.
           Note that these are NOT UNIX!

       unixFileAttributes( [$newAttributes] )
           Get or set the member's file attributes using UNIX
           file attributes. Returns old attributes.

               my $oldAttribs = $member->unixFileAttributes( 0666 );

           Note that the return value has more than just the file
           permissions, so you will have to mask off the lowest
           bits for comparisions.

       localExtraField( [$newField] )
           Gets or sets the extra field that was read from the
           local header. This is not set for a member from a zip
           file until after the member has been written out. The
           extra field must be in the proper format.

       cdExtraField( [$newField] )
           Gets or sets the extra field that was read from the
           central directory header. The extra field must be in
           the proper format.

       extraFields()
           Return both local and CD extra fields, concatenated.

       fileComment( [$newComment] )
           Get or set the member's file comment.

       hasDataDescriptor()
           Get or set the data descriptor flag. If this is set,
           the local header will not necessarily have the correct
           data sizes. Instead, a small structure will be stored
           at the end of the member data with these values. This
           should be transparent in normal operation.

       crc32()
           Return the CRC-32 value for this member. This will not
           be set for members that were constructed from strings
           or external files until after the member has been
           written.

       crc32String()
           Return the CRC-32 value for this member as an 8
           character printable hex string. This will not be set
           for members that were constructed from strings or
           external files until after the member has been
           written.

       compressedSize()
           Return the compressed size for this member. This will
           not be set for members that were constructed from
           strings or external files until after the member has
           been written.

       uncompressedSize()
           Return the uncompressed size for this member.

       isEncrypted()
           Return true if this member is encrypted. The
           Archive::Zip module does not currently create or
           extract encrypted members.

       isTextFile( [$flag] )
           Returns true if I am a text file. Also can set the
           status if given an argument (then returns old state).
           Note that this module does not currently do anything
           with this flag upon extraction or storage. That is,
           bytes are stored in native format whether or not they
           came from a text file.

       isBinaryFile()
           Returns true if I am a binary file. Also can set the
           status if given an argument (then returns old state).
           Note that this module does not currently do anything
           with this flag upon extraction or storage. That is,
           bytes are stored in native format whether or not they

       extractToFileNamed( $fileName )
           Extract me to a file with the given name. The file
           will be created with default modes. Directories will
           be created as needed.  The $fileName argument should
           be a valid file name on your file system.  Returns
           AZ_OK on success.

       isDirectory()
           Returns true if I am a directory.

       writeLocalHeaderRelativeOffset()
           Returns the file offset in bytes the last time I was
           written.

       wasWritten()
           Returns true if I was successfully written. Reset at
           the beginning of a write attempt.

       Low-level member data reading

       It is possible to use lower-level routines to access
       member data streams, rather than the extract* methods and
       contents(). For instance, here is how to print the
       uncompressed contents of a member in chunks using these
       methods:

           my ( $member, $status, $bufferRef );
           $member = $zip->memberNamed( 'xyz.txt' );
           $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
           $status = $member->rewindData();
           die "error $status" unless $status == AZ_OK;
           while ( ! $member->readIsDone() )
           {
           ( $bufferRef, $status ) = $member->readChunk();
           die "error $status"
                       if $status != AZ_OK && $status != AZ_STREAM_END;
           # do something with $bufferRef:
           print $$bufferRef;
           }
           $member->endRead();

       readChunk( [$chunkSize] )
           This reads the next chunk of given size from the
           member's data stream and compresses or uncompresses it
           as necessary, returning a reference to the bytes read
           and a status. If size argument is not given, defaults
           to global set by Archive::Zip::setChunkSize. Status is
           AZ_OK on success until the last chunk, where it
           returns AZ_STREAM_END. Returns "( \$bytes, $status)".

               my ( $outRef, $status ) = $self->readChunk();
               print $$outRef if $status != AZ_OK && $status != AZ_STREAM_END;

       rewindData()
           Rewind data and set up for reading data streams or
           writing zip files. Can take options for
           "inflateInit()" or "deflateInit()", but this isn't
           likely to be necessary.  Subclass overrides should
           call this method. Returns "AZ_OK" on success.

       endRead()
           Reset the read variables and free the inflater or
           deflater.  Must be called to close files, etc. Returns
           AZ_OK on success.

       readIsDone()
           Return true if the read has run out of data or errored
           out.

       contents()
           Return the entire uncompressed member data or undef in
           scalar context. When called in array context, returns
           "( $string, $status )"; status will be AZ_OK on
           success:

               my $string = $member->contents();

               my ( $string, $status ) = $member->contents();
               die "error $status" unless $status == AZ_OK;

           Can also be used to set the contents of a member (this
           may change the class of the member):

               $member->contents( "this is my new contents" );

       extractToFileHandle( $fh )
           Extract (and uncompress, if necessary) the member's
           contents to the given file handle. Return AZ_OK on
           success.

Archive::Zip::FileMember methods
       The Archive::Zip::FileMember class extends
       Archive::Zip::Member. It is the base class for both
       ZipFileMember and NewFileMember classes. This class adds
       an "externalFileName" and an "fh" member to keep track of
       the external file.

       externalFileName()
           Return the member's external filename.

       fh()
           Return the member's read file handle. Automatically
           opens file if necessary.

Archive::Zip::ZipFileMember methods
       The Archive::Zip::ZipFileMember class represents members
       that have been read from external zip files.

REQUIRED MODULES
       Archive::Zip requires several other modules:

       Carp

       Compress::Raw::Zlib

       Cwd

       File::Basename

       File::Copy

       File::Find

       File::Path

       File::Spec

       IO::File

       IO::Seekable

       Time::Local

BUGS AND CAVEATS
       When not to use Archive::Zip

       If you are just going to be extracting zips (and/or other
       archives) you are recommended to look at using
       Archive::Extract instead, as it is much easier to use and
       factors out archive-specific functionality.

       Try to avoid IO::Scalar

       One of the most common ways to use Archive::Zip is to
       generate Zip files in-memory. Most people have use
       IO::Scalar for this purpose.

       Unfortunately, as of 1.11 this module no longer works with
       IO::Scalar as it incorrectly implements seeking.




perl v5.10.0                2009-06-30                         23





Archive::Zip(3pUser Contributed Perl DocumentatioArchive::Zip(3p)


       Anybody using IO::Scalar should consider porting to
       IO::String, which is smaller, lighter, and is implemented
       to be perfectly compatible with regular seekable
       filehandles.

       Support for IO::Scalar most likely will not be restored in
       the future, as IO::Scalar itself cannot change the way it
       is implemented due to back-compatibility issues.

TO DO
       * auto-choosing storing vs compression

       * extra field hooks (see notes.txt)

       * check for dups on addition/renaming?

       * Text file extraction (line end translation)

       * Reading zip files from non-seekable inputs
         (Perhaps by proxying through IO::String?)

       * separate unused constants into separate module

       * cookbook style docs

       * Handle tainted paths correctly

       * Work on better compatability with other IO:: modules
