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

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

    ### extract to /tmp ###

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

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


    ### quick check methods ###
    $ae->is_tar     # is it a .tar file?
    $ae->is_tgz     # is it a .tar.gz or .tgz file?
    $ae->is_gz;     # is it a .gz file?

    ### absolute path to the archive you provided ###

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Archive::Extract is a generic archive extraction mechanism.

It allows you to extract any archive file of the type .tar, .tar.gz,
.gz, .Z, tar.bz2, .tbz, .bz2, .zip, .xz,, .txz, .tar.xz or .lzma
without having to worry how it
does so, or use different interfaces for each type by using either
perl modules, or commandline tools on your system.

See the C<HOW IT WORKS> section further down for details.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 $ae = Archive::Extract->new(archive => '/path/to/archive',[type => TYPE])

Creates a new C<Archive::Extract> object based on the archive file you
passed it. Automatically determines the type of archive based on the
extension, but you can override that by explicitly providing the
C<type> argument.

Valid values for C<type> are:

=over 4

=item tar

Standard tar files, as produced by, for example, C</bin/tar>.
Corresponds to a C<.tar> suffix.

=item tgz

Gzip compressed tar files, as produced by, for example C</bin/tar -z>.
Corresponds to a C<.tgz> or C<.tar.gz> suffix.

=item gz

Gzip compressed file, as produced by, for example C</bin/gzip>.
Corresponds to a C<.gz> suffix.

=item Z

Lempel-Ziv compressed file, as produced by, for example C</bin/compress>.
Corresponds to a C<.Z> suffix.

=item zip

Zip compressed file, as produced by, for example C</bin/zip>.
Corresponds to a C<.zip>, C<.jar> or C<.par> suffix.

=item bz2

Bzip2 compressed file, as produced by, for example, C</bin/bzip2>.
Corresponds to a C<.bz2> suffix.

=item tbz

Bzip2 compressed tar file, as produced by, for example C</bin/tar -j>.
Corresponds to a C<.tbz> or C<.tar.bz2> suffix.

=item lzma

Lzma compressed file, as produced by C</bin/lzma>.
Corresponds to a C<.lzma> suffix.

=item xz

Xz compressed file, as produced by C</bin/xz>.
Corresponds to a C<.xz> suffix.

=item txz

Xz compressed tar file, as produced by, for example C</bin/tar -J>.
Corresponds to a C<.txz> or C<.tar.xz> suffix.

=back

Returns a C<Archive::Extract> object on success, or false on failure.

    }
}

=head2 $ae->extract( [to => '/output/path'] )

Extracts the archive represented by the C<Archive::Extract> object to
the path of your choice as specified by the C<to> argument. Defaults to
C<cwd()>.

Since C<.gz> files never hold a directory, but only a single file; if
the C<to> argument is an existing directory, the file is extracted
there, with its C<.gz> suffix stripped.
If the C<to> argument is not an existing directory, the C<to> argument
is understood to be a filename, if the archive type is C<gz>.
In the case that you did not specify a C<to> argument, the output
file will be the name of the archive file, stripped from its C<.gz>
suffix, in the current working directory.

C<extract> will try a pure perl solution first, and then fall back to
commandline tools if they are available. See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES>
section below on how to alter this behaviour.

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

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

=over 4

=item $ae->extract_path

This is the directory that the files where extracted to.

=item $ae->files

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

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

Note that all files from a tar archive will be in unix format, as per
the tar specification.

=head1 HOW IT WORKS

C<Archive::Extract> tries first to determine what type of archive you
are passing it, by inspecting its suffix. It does not do this by using
Mime magic, or something related. See C<CAVEATS> below.

Once it has determined the file type, it knows which extraction methods
it can use on the archive. It will try a perl solution first, then fall
back to a commandline tool if that fails. If that also fails, it will
return false, indicating it was unable to extract the archive.
See the section on C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> to see how to alter this order.

=head1 CAVEATS

=head2 File Extensions

C<Archive::Extract> trusts on the extension of the archive to determine
what type it is, and what extractor methods therefore can be used. If
your archives do not have any of the extensions as described in the
C<new()> method, you will have to specify the type explicitly, or
C<Archive::Extract> will not be able to extract the archive for you.

=head2 Supporting Very Large Files

C<Archive::Extract> can use either pure perl modules or command line
programs under the hood. Some of the pure perl modules (like
C<Archive::Tar> and Compress::unLZMA) take the entire contents of the archive into memory,
which may not be feasible on your system. Consider setting the global
variable C<$Archive::Extract::PREFER_BIN> to C<1>, which will prefer
the use of command line programs and won't consume so much memory.

See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section below for details.

=head2 Bunzip2 support of arbitrary extensions.

Older versions of C</bin/bunzip2> do not support arbitrary file
extensions and insist on a C<.bz2> suffix. Although we do our best
to guard against this, if you experience a bunzip2 error, it may
be related to this. For details, please see the C<have_old_bunzip2>
method.

=head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES

=head2 $Archive::Extract::DEBUG

Set this variable to C<true> to have all calls to command line tools
be printed out, including all their output.
This also enables C<Carp::longmess> errors, instead of the regular
C<carp> errors.

Good for tracking down why things don't work with your particular
setup.

Defaults to C<false>.

=head2 $Archive::Extract::WARN

This variable controls whether errors encountered internally by
C<Archive::Extract> should be C<carp>'d or not.

Set to false to silence warnings. Inspect the output of the C<error()>
method manually to see what went wrong.

Defaults to C<true>.

=head2 $Archive::Extract::PREFER_BIN

This variables controls whether C<Archive::Extract> should prefer the
use of perl modules, or commandline tools to extract archives.

Set to C<true> to have C<Archive::Extract> prefer commandline tools.

Defaults to C<false>.

=head1 TODO / CAVEATS

=over 4

=item Mime magic support

Maybe this module should use something like C<File::Type> to determine
the type, rather than blindly trust the suffix.

=item Thread safety

Currently, C<Archive::Extract> does a C<chdir> to the extraction dir before
extraction, and a C<chdir> back again after. This is not necessarily
thread safe. See C<rt.cpan.org> bug C<#45671> for details.
