Description: perl interface for manipulating ar archives
Archive::Ar is a pure-perl way to handle standard ar archives.
.
This is useful if you have those types of old archives on the system, but it
is also useful because .deb packages for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution are
ar archives. This is one building block in a future chain of modules to build,
manipulate, extract, and test debian modules with no platform or architecture
dependence.
.
You may notice that the API to Archive::Ar is similar to Archive::Tar, and
this was done intentionally to keep similarity between the Archive::*
modules.
