NAME
   Archive::Extract::Libarchive - A generic archive extracting mechanism
   (using libarchive)

SYNOPSIS
     use Archive::Extract::Libarchive;

     # build an Archive::Extract object
     my $ae = Archive::Extract::Libarchive->new( archive => 'foo.tgz' );

     # extract to cwd()
     my $ok = $ae->extract;

     # extract to /tmp
     my $ok = $ae->extract( to => '/tmp' );

     # what if something went wrong?
     my $ok = $ae->extract or die $ae->error;

     # files from the archive
     my $files   = $ae->files;

     # dir that was extracted to
     my $outdir  = $ae->extract_path;

     # absolute path to the archive you provided
     $ae->archive;

DESCRIPTION
   Archive::Extract is a generic archive extraction mechanism. This module
   has a similar interface to Archive::Extract, but instead of using Perl
   modules and external commands, it uses the libarchive C libary
   (<http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/>), which you must have installed
   (libarchive-dev package for Debian/Ubuntu). It supports many different
   archive formats and compression algorithms and is fast.

   For example, unpacking the whole of CPAN using this module is about ten
   times faster than using Archive::Extract.

METHODS
 $ae = Archive::Extract::Libarchive->new(archive => '/path/to/archive')
   Creates a new "Archive::Extract::Libarchive" object based on the archive
   file you passed it.

 $ae->extract( [to => '/output/path'] )
   Extracts the archive represented by the "Archive::Extract::Libarchive"
   object to the path of your choice as specified by the "to" argument.
   Defaults to "cwd()".

   It will return true on success, and false on failure.

   On success, it will also set the follow attributes in the object:

   $ae->extract_path
       This is the directory that the files where extracted to.

   $ae->files
       This is an array ref with the paths of all the files in the archive,
       relative to the "to" argument you specified. To get the full path to
       an extracted file, you would use:

         File::Spec->catfile( $to, $ae->files->[0] );

ACCESSORS
 $ae->error()
   Returns the last encountered error as string.

 $ae->extract_path
   This is the directory the archive got extracted to. See "extract()" for
   details.

 $ae->files
   This is an array ref holding all the paths from the archive. See
   "extract()" for details.

 $ae->archive
   This is the full path to the archive file represented by this
   "Archive::Extract::Libarchive" object.
