Archive::Extract 0.60

Archive::Extract is a generic archive extraction mechanism module in Perl.

It allows you to extract any archive file of the type .tar, .tar.gz, .gz, .Z, tar.bz2, .tbz, .bz2, .zip 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.
