Archive::Peek::External - Peek into archives without extracting them (using external tools)
use Archive::Peek::External; my $peek = Archive::Peek::External->new( filename => 'archive.tgz' ); my @files = $peek->files(); my $contents = $peek->file('README.txt')
This module lets you peek into archives without extracting them. It currently supports tar files and zip files using external tools such as 'tar' and 'unzip'.
The constructor takes the filename of the archive to peek into:
my $peek = Archive::Peek::External->new( filename => 'archive.tgz' );
Returns the files in the archive:
my @files = $peek->files();
Returns the contents of a file in the archive:
my $contents = $peek->file('README.txt')
