Archive::Zip - Provide an interface to ZIP archive files.

   use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES :CONSTANTS );
   my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
   my $member = $zip->addDirectory( 'dirname/' );
   $member = $zip->addString( 'This is a test', 'stringMember.txt' );
   $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );

The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate, read, and write Zip archive files. Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip files. Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or strings. Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and enumerated. They can also be renamed or have their dates, comments, or other attributes queried or modified. Their data can be compressed or uncompressed as needed. Members can be created from members in existing Zip files, or from existing directories, files, or strings. This module uses the Compress::Zlib library to read and write the compressed streams inside the files.

Regardless of what your local file system uses for file naming, names in a Zip file are in Unix format (forward slashes (/) separating directory names, etc.). CWArchive::Zip tries to be consistent with file naming conventions, and will translate back and forth between native and Zip file names. However, it can't guess which format names are in. So two rules control what kind of file name you must pass various routines:

Names of files are in local format.

CWFile::Spec and CWFile::Basename are used for various file operations. When you're referring to a file on your system, use its file naming conventions.

Names of archive members are in Unix format.

This applies to every method that refers to an archive member, or provides a name for new archive members. The CWextract() methods that can take one or two names will convert from local to zip names if you call them with a single name.

Archive::Zip::Archive objects are what you ordinarily deal with. These maintain the structure of a zip file, without necessarily holding data. When a zip is read from a disk file, the (possibly compressed) data still lives in the file, not in memory. Archive members hold information about the individual members, but not (usually) the actual member data. When the zip is written to a (different) file, the member data is compressed or copied as needed. It is possible to make archive members whose data is held in a string in memory, but this is not done when a zip file is read. Directory members don't have any data.

:ERROR_CODES

Explained below. Returned from most methods. AZ_OK AZ_STREAM_END AZ_ERROR AZ_FORMAT_ERROR AZ_IO_ERROR

Many of the methods in Archive::Zip return error codes. These are implemented as inline subroutines, using the CWuse constant pragma. They can be imported into your namespace using the CW:ERROR_CODES tag:

  use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES );
  ...
  die "whoops!" unless $zip->read( 'myfile.zip' ) == AZ_OK;

AZ_OK (0)

Everything is fine.

AZ_STREAM_END (1)

The read stream (or central directory) ended normally.

AZ_ERROR (2)

There was some generic kind of error.

AZ_FORMAT_ERROR (3)

There is a format error in a ZIP file being read.

AZ_IO_ERROR (4)

There was an IO error.

Archive::Zip allows each member of a ZIP file to be compressed (using the Deflate algorithm) or uncompressed. Other compression algorithms that some versions of ZIP have been able to produce are not supported. Each member has two compression methods: the one it's stored as (this is always COMPRESSION_STORED for string and external file members), and the one you desire for the member in the zip file. These can be different, of course, so you can make a zip member that is not compressed out of one that is, and vice versa. You can inquire about the current compression and set the desired compression method:

  my $member = $zip->memberNamed( 'xyz.txt' );
  $member->compressionMethod();    # return current compression
  # set to read uncompressed
  $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
  # set to read compressed
  $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_DEFLATED );

There are two different compression methods:

COMPRESSION_STORED

file is stored (no compression)

COMPRESSION_DEFLATED

file is Deflated

If a member's desiredCompressionMethod is COMPRESSION_DEFLATED, you can choose different compression levels. This choice may affect the speed of compression and decompression, as well as the size of the compressed member data.

  $member->desiredCompressionLevel( 9 );

The levels given can be:

0 or COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE

This is the same as saying

  $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );

1 .. 9

1 gives the best speed and worst compression, and 9 gives the best compression and worst speed.

COMPRESSION_LEVEL_FASTEST

This is a synonym for level 1.

COMPRESSION_LEVEL_BEST_COMPRESSION

This is a synonym for level 9.

COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT

This gives a good compromise between speed and compression, and is currently equivalent to 6 (this is in the zlib code). This is the level that will be used if not specified.

The Archive::Zip class (and its invisible subclass Archive::Zip::Archive) implement generic zip file functionality. Creating a new Archive::Zip object actually makes an Archive::Zip::Archive object, but you don't have to worry about this unless you're subclassing.

new( [$fileName] )

Make a new, empty zip archive.

    my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

If an additional argument is passed, new() will call read() to read the contents of an archive:

    my $zip = Archive::Zip->new( 'xyz.zip' );

If a filename argument is passed and the read fails for any reason, new will return undef. For this reason, it may be better to call read separately.

These Archive::Zip methods may be called as functions or as object methods. Do not call them as class methods:

    $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
    $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' );    # OK
    $crc = $zip->computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' );            # also OK
    $crc = Archive::Zip->computeCRC32( 'ghijkl' );    # NOT OK

    $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( $string );

    $crc = 0;
    $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'abcdef', $crc );
    $crc = Archive::Zip::computeCRC32( 'ghijkl', $crc );

    Archive::Zip::setChunkSize( 4096 );

Archive::Zip::chunkSize()

Returns the current chunk size:

    my $chunkSize = Archive::Zip::chunkSize();

Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( \&subroutine )

Change the subroutine called with error strings. This defaults to \&Carp::carp, but you may want to change it to get the error strings. This is not exportable, so you must call it like:

    Archive::Zip::setErrorHandler( \&myErrorHandler );

If myErrorHandler is undef, resets handler to default. Returns old error handler. Note that if you call Carp::carp or a similar routine or if you're chaining to the default error handler from your error handler, you may want to increment the number of caller levels that are skipped (do not just set it to a number):

    $Carp::CarpLevel++;

Archive::Zip::tempFile( [$tmpdir] )

Create a uniquely named temp file. It will be returned open for read/write. If CW$tmpdir is given, it is used as the name of a directory to create the file in. If not given, creates the file using CWFile::Spec::tmpdir(). Generally, you can override this choice using the

    $ENV{TMPDIR}

environment variable. But see the File::Spec documentation for your system. Note that on many systems, if you're running in taint mode, then you must make sure that CW$ENV{TMPDIR} is untainted for it to be used. Will NOT create CW$tmpdir if it doesn't exist (this is a change from prior versions!). Returns file handle and name:

    my ($fh, $name) = Archive::Zip::tempFile();
    my ($fh, $name) = Archive::Zip::tempFile('myTempDir');
    my $fh = Archive::Zip::tempFile();  # if you don't need the name

members()

Return a copy of the members array

    my @members = $zip->members();

numberOfMembers()

Return the number of members I have

memberNames()

Return a list of the (internal) file names of the zip members Return ref to member whose filename equals given filename or undef. CW$string must be in Zip (Unix) filename format. Return array of members whose filenames match given regular expression in list context. Returns number of matching members in scalar context.

    my @textFileMembers = $zip->membersMatching( '.*\.txt' );
    # or
    my $numberOfTextFiles = $zip->membersMatching( '.*\.txt' );

diskNumber()

Return the disk that I start on. Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in. This should be 0, as Archive::Zip does not handle multi-volume archives.

diskNumberWithStartOfCentralDirectory()

Return the disk number that holds the beginning of the central directory. Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in. This should be 0, as Archive::Zip does not handle multi-volume archives.

numberOfCentralDirectoriesOnThisDisk()

Return the number of CD structures in the zipfile last read in. Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in.

numberOfCentralDirectories()

Return the number of CD structures in the zipfile last read in. Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in.

centralDirectorySize()

Returns central directory size, as read from an external zip file. Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in.

centralDirectoryOffsetWRTStartingDiskNumber()

Returns the offset into the zip file where the CD begins. Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in.

zipfileComment( [$string] )

Get or set the zipfile comment. Returns the old comment.

    print $zip->zipfileComment();
    $zip->zipfileComment( 'New Comment' );

eocdOffset()

Returns the (unexpected) number of bytes between where the EOCD was found and where it expected to be. This is normally 0, but would be positive if something (a virus, perhaps) had added bytes somewhere before the EOCD. Not used for writing zips, but might be interesting if you read a zip in. Here is an example of how you can diagnose this:

  my $zip = Archive::Zip->new('somefile.zip');
  if ($zip->eocdOffset())
  {
    warn "A virus has added ", $zip->eocdOffset, " bytes of garbage\n";
  }

The CWeocdOffset() is used to adjust the starting position of member headers, if necessary.

fileName()

Returns the name of the file last read from. If nothing has been read yet, returns an empty string; if read from a file handle, returns the handle in string form.

Various operations on a zip file modify members. When a member is passed as an argument, you can either use a reference to the member itself, or the name of a member. Of course, using the name requires that names be unique within a zip (this is not enforced). Remove and return the given member, or match its name and remove it. Returns undef if member or name doesn't exist in this Zip. No-op if member does not belong to this zip. Remove and return the given member, or match its name and remove it. Replace with new member. Returns undef if member or name doesn't exist in this Zip, or if CW$newMember is undefined. It is an (undiagnosed) error to provide a CW$newMember that is a member of the zip being modified.

    my $member1 = $zip->removeMember( 'xyz' );
    my $member2 = $zip->replaceMember( 'abc', $member1 );
    # now, $member2 (named 'abc') is not in $zip,
    # and $member1 (named 'xyz') is, having taken $member2's place.

    # Move member named 'abc' to end of zip:
    my $member = $zip->removeMember( 'abc' );
    $zip->addMember( $member );

    my $member = $zip->addString( 'This is a test', 'test.txt' );

    print "xyz.txt contains " . $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt' );

    $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt', 'This is the new contents' );

    ($content, $status) = $zip->contents( 'xyz.txt');

A Zip archive can be written to a file or file handle, or read from one. Write a zip archive to named file. Returns CWAZ_OK on success.

    my $status = $zip->writeToFileNamed( 'xx.zip' );
    die "error somewhere" if $status != AZ_OK;

    my $fh = IO::File->new( 'someFile.zip', 'w' );
    if ( $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh ) != AZ_OK)
        {
                # error handling
        }

    my $fh = IO::File->new( '| cat > somefile.zip', 'w' );
    $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh, 0 );   # fh is not seekable

    my $fh = IO::File->new( 'someFile.zip', 'w' );
        my $retval = $zip->writeToFileHandle( $fh );
    if ( $retval == AZ_IO_ERROR )
        {
                my @unwritten = grep { not $_->wasWritten() } $zip->members();
                if (@unwritten)
                {
                        $zip->removeMember( $member ) foreach my $member ( @unwritten );
                        $zip->writeCentralDirectory( $fh,
                                $unwritten[0]->writeLocalHeaderRelativeOffset());
                }
        }

overwrite()

Write back to the original zip file. See overwriteAs() above. If the zip was not ever read from a file, this generates an error. Read zipfile headers from a zip file, appending new members. Returns CWAZ_OK or error code.

    my $zipFile = Archive::Zip->new();
    my $status = $zipFile->read( '/some/FileName.zip' );

Read zipfile headers from an already-opened file handle, appending new members. Does not close the file handle. Returns CWAZ_OK or error code. Note that this requires a seekable file handle; reading from a stream is not yet supported.

    my $fh = IO::File->new( '/some/FileName.zip', 'r' );
    my $zip1 = Archive::Zip->new();
    my $status = $zip1->readFromFileHandle( $fh );
    my $zip2 = Archive::Zip->new();
    $status = $zip2->readFromFileHandle( $fh );

These used to be in Archive::Zip::Tree but got moved into Archive::Zip. They enable operation on an entire tree of members or files. A usage example:

  use Archive::Zip;
  my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
  # add all readable files and directories below . as xyz/*
  $zip->addTree( '.', 'xyz' );  
  # add all readable plain files below /abc as def/*
  $zip->addTree( '/abc', 'def', sub { -f && -r } );     
  # add all .c files below /tmp as stuff/*
  $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.c$' );
  # add all .o files below /tmp as stuff/* if they aren't writable
  $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.o$', sub { ! -w } );
  # add all .so files below /tmp that are smaller than 200 bytes as stuff/*
  $zip->addTreeMatching( '/tmp', 'stuff', '\.o$', sub { -s < 200 } );
  # and write them into a file
  $zip->writeToFileNamed('xxx.zip');
  # now extract the same files into /tmpx
  $zip->extractTree( 'stuff', '/tmpx' );

  my $pred = sub { /\.txt/ };
  $zip->addTree( '.', '', $pred );

  original name           zip member name
  ./xyz                   xyz
  ./a/                    a/
  ./a/b                   a/b

  original name           zip member name
  /c/d/xyz                a/xyz
  /c/d/a/                 a/a/
  /c/d/a/b                a/a/b

  $zip->addTreeMatching( '.', 'xyz', '\.pl$' )

  $zip->addTreeMatching( '/abc', 'xyz', '\.pl$', sub { -w } )

$zip->extractTree()

If you don't give any arguments at all, will extract all the files in the zip with their original names. If you supply one argument for CW$root, CWextractTree will extract all the members whose names start with CW$root into the current directory, stripping off CW$root first. CW$root is in Zip (Unix) format. For instance,

  $zip->extractTree( 'a' );

when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c ax/d/e d/e will extract: a/x as ./x a/b/c as ./b/c If you give two arguments, CWextractTree extracts all the members whose names start with CW$root. It will translate CW$root into CW$dest to construct the destination file name. CW$root and CW$dest are in Zip (Unix) format. For instance,

   $zip->extractTree( 'a', 'd/e' );

when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c ax/d/e d/e will extract: a/x to d/e/x a/b/c to d/e/b/c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e If you give three arguments, CWextractTree extracts all the members whose names start with CW$root. It will translate CW$root into CW$dest to construct the destination file name, and then it will convert to local file system format, using CW$volume as the name of the destination volume. CW$root and CW$dest are in Zip (Unix) format. CW$volume is in local file system format. For instance, under Windows,

   $zip->extractTree( 'a', 'd/e', 'f:' );

when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c ax/d/e d/e will extract: a/x to f:d/e/x a/b/c to f:d/e/b/c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e If you want absolute paths (the prior example used paths relative to the current directory on the destination volume, you can specify these in CW$dest:

   $zip->extractTree( 'a', '/d/e', 'f:' );

when applied to a zip containing the files: a/x a/b/c ax/d/e d/e will extract: a/x to f:\d\e\x a/b/c to f:\d\e\b\c and ignore ax/d/e and d/e Returns an error code or AZ_OK if everything worked OK.

Several constructors allow you to construct members without adding them to a zip archive. These work the same as the addFile(), addDirectory(), and addString() zip instance methods described above, but they don't add the new members to a zip. Construct a new member from the given string. Returns undef on error.

    my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newFromString( 'This is a test',
                                                 'xyz.txt' );

    my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newFromFile( 'xyz.txt' );

    my $member = Archive::Zip::Member->newDirectoryNamed( 'CVS/' );

These methods get (and/or set) member attribute values.

versionMadeBy()

Gets the field from the member header.

fileAttributeFormat( [$format] )

Gets or sets the field from the member header. These are CWFA_* values.

versionNeededToExtract()

Gets the field from the member header.

bitFlag()

Gets the general purpose bit field from the member header. This is where the CWGPBF_* bits live.

compressionMethod()

Returns the member compression method. This is the method that is currently being used to compress the member data. This will be COMPRESSION_STORED for added string or file members, or any of the CWCOMPRESSION_* values for members from a zip file. However, this module can only handle members whose data is in COMPRESSION_STORED or COMPRESSION_DEFLATED format.

desiredCompressionMethod( [$method] )

Get or set the member's CWdesiredCompressionMethod. This is the compression method that will be used when the member is written. Returns prior desiredCompressionMethod. Only COMPRESSION_DEFLATED or COMPRESSION_STORED are valid arguments. Changing to COMPRESSION_STORED will change the member desiredCompressionLevel to 0; changing to COMPRESSION_DEFLATED will change the member desiredCompressionLevel to COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT.

desiredCompressionLevel( [$method] )

Get or set the member's desiredCompressionLevel This is the method that will be used to write. Returns prior desiredCompressionLevel. Valid arguments are 0 through 9, COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE, COMPRESSION_LEVEL_DEFAULT, COMPRESSION_LEVEL_BEST_COMPRESSION, and COMPRESSION_LEVEL_FASTEST. 0 or COMPRESSION_LEVEL_NONE will change the desiredCompressionMethod to COMPRESSION_STORED. All other arguments will change the desiredCompressionMethod to COMPRESSION_DEFLATED.

externalFileName()

Return the member's external file name, if any, or undef.

fileName()

Get or set the member's internal filename. Returns the (possibly new) filename. Names will have backslashes converted to forward slashes, and will have multiple consecutive slashes converted to single ones.

lastModFileDateTime()

Return the member's last modification date/time stamp in MS-DOS format.

lastModTime()

Return the member's last modification date/time stamp, converted to unix localtime format.

    print "Mod Time: " . scalar( localtime( $member->lastModTime() ) );

setLastModFileDateTimeFromUnix()

Set the member's lastModFileDateTime from the given unix time.

    $member->setLastModFileDateTimeFromUnix( time() );

internalFileAttributes()

Return the internal file attributes field from the zip header. This is only set for members read from a zip file.

externalFileAttributes()

Return member attributes as read from the ZIP file. Note that these are NOT UNIX!

unixFileAttributes( [$newAttributes] )

Get or set the member's file attributes using UNIX file attributes. Returns old attributes.

    my $oldAttribs = $member->unixFileAttributes( 0666 );

Note that the return value has more than just the file permissions, so you will have to mask off the lowest bits for comparisions.

localExtraField( [$newField] )

Gets or sets the extra field that was read from the local header. This is not set for a member from a zip file until after the member has been written out. The extra field must be in the proper format.

cdExtraField( [$newField] )

Gets or sets the extra field that was read from the central directory header. The extra field must be in the proper format.

extraFields()

Return both local and CD extra fields, concatenated.

fileComment( [$newComment] )

Get or set the member's file comment.

hasDataDescriptor()

Get or set the data descriptor flag. If this is set, the local header will not necessarily have the correct data sizes. Instead, a small structure will be stored at the end of the member data with these values. This should be transparent in normal operation.

crc32()

Return the CRC-32 value for this member. This will not be set for members that were constructed from strings or external files until after the member has been written.

crc32String()

Return the CRC-32 value for this member as an 8 character printable hex string. This will not be set for members that were constructed from strings or external files until after the member has been written.

compressedSize()

Return the compressed size for this member. This will not be set for members that were constructed from strings or external files until after the member has been written.

uncompressedSize()

Return the uncompressed size for this member.

isEncrypted()

Return true if this member is encrypted. The Archive::Zip module does not currently create or extract encrypted members.

isTextFile( [$flag] )

Returns true if I am a text file. Also can set the status if given an argument (then returns old state). Note that this module does not currently do anything with this flag upon extraction or storage. That is, bytes are stored in native format whether or not they came from a text file.

isBinaryFile()

Returns true if I am a binary file. Also can set the status if given an argument (then returns old state). Note that this module does not currently do anything with this flag upon extraction or storage. That is, bytes are stored in native format whether or not they came from a text file. Extract me to a file with the given name. The file will be created with default modes. Directories will be created as needed. The CW$fileName argument should be a valid file name on your file system. Returns AZ_OK on success.

isDirectory()

Returns true if I am a directory.

writeLocalHeaderRelativeOffset()

Returns the file offset in bytes the last time I was written.

wasWritten()

Returns true if I was successfully written. Reset at the beginning of a write attempt.

It is possible to use lower-level routines to access member data streams, rather than the extract* methods and contents(). For instance, here is how to print the uncompressed contents of a member in chunks using these methods:

    my ( $member, $status, $bufferRef );
    $member = $zip->memberNamed( 'xyz.txt' );
    $member->desiredCompressionMethod( COMPRESSION_STORED );
    $status = $member->rewindData();
    die "error $status" unless $status == AZ_OK;
    while ( ! $member->readIsDone() )
    {
    ( $bufferRef, $status ) = $member->readChunk();
    die "error $status"
                        if $status != AZ_OK && $status != AZ_STREAM_END;
    # do something with $bufferRef:
    print $$bufferRef;
    }
    $member->endRead();

readChunk( [$chunkSize] )

This reads the next chunk of given size from the member's data stream and compresses or uncompresses it as necessary, returning a reference to the bytes read and a status. If size argument is not given, defaults to global set by Archive::Zip::setChunkSize. Status is AZ_OK on success until the last chunk, where it returns AZ_STREAM_END. Returns CW( \$bytes, $status).

    my ( $outRef, $status ) = $self->readChunk();
    print $$outRef if $status != AZ_OK && $status != AZ_STREAM_END;

rewindData()

Rewind data and set up for reading data streams or writing zip files. Can take options for CWinflateInit() or CWdeflateInit(), but this isn't likely to be necessary. Subclass overrides should call this method. Returns CWAZ_OK on success.

endRead()

Reset the read variables and free the inflater or deflater. Must be called to close files, etc. Returns AZ_OK on success.

readIsDone()

Return true if the read has run out of data or errored out.

contents()

Return the entire uncompressed member data or undef in scalar context. When called in array context, returns CW( $string, $status ); status will be AZ_OK on success:

    my $string = $member->contents();
    # or
    my ( $string, $status ) = $member->contents();
    die "error $status" unless $status == AZ_OK;

Can also be used to set the contents of a member (this may change the class of the member):

    $member->contents( "this is my new contents" );

Extract (and uncompress, if necessary) the member's contents to the given file handle. Return AZ_OK on success.

The Archive::Zip::FileMember class extends Archive::Zip::Member. It is the base class for both ZipFileMember and NewFileMember classes. This class adds an CWexternalFileName and an CWfh member to keep track of the external file.

externalFileName()

Return the member's external filename.

fh()

Return the member's read file handle. Automatically opens file if necessary.

The Archive::Zip::ZipFileMember class represents members that have been read from external zip files.

diskNumberStart()

Returns the disk number that the member's local header resides in. Should be 0.

localHeaderRelativeOffset()

Returns the offset into the zip file where the member's local header is.

dataOffset()

Returns the offset from the beginning of the zip file to the member's data.
