NAME Archive::BagIt VERSION version 0.050 SYNOPSIS This modules will hopefully help with the basic commands needed to create and verify a bag. My intention is not to be strict and enforce all of the specification. The reference implementation is the java version and I will endeavour to maintain compatibility with it. use Archive::BagIt; #read in an existing bag: my $bag_dir = "/path/to/bag"; my $bag = Archive::BagIt->new($bag_dir); #construct bag in an existing directory my $bag2 = Archive::BagIt->make_bag($bag_dir); # Validate a BagIt archive against its manifest my $bag3 = Archive::BagIt->new($bag_dir); my $is_valid = $bag3->verify_bag(); WARNING This is experimental software for the moment and under active development. I hope to have a beta version available soon. We use it fairly widely in-house, but it doesn't necessarily implement all of the specs. Email me with anything you need done urgently. Also: Check out Archive::BagIt::Fast if you are willing to add some extra dependendies to get better speed by mmap-ing files. NAME Archive::BagIt - An interface to make and verify bags according to the BagIt standard SUBROUTINES new An Object Oriented Interface to a bag. Opens an existing bag. make_bag A constructor that will make and return a bag from a directory If a data directory exists, assume it is already a bag (no checking for invalid files in root) verify_bag An interface to verify a bag. You might also want to check Archive::BagIt::Fast to see a more direct way of accessing files (and thus faster). get_checksum This is the checksum for the bag, md5 of the manifest-md5.txt version Returns the bagit version according to the bagit.txt file. payload_files Returns an array with all of the payload files (those files that are below the data directory) non_payload_files Returns an array with files that are in the root of the bag, non-manifest files manifest_files return an array with the list of manifest files that exist in the bag tagmanifest_files return an array with the list of tagmanifest files AUTHOR Robert Schmidt, William Wueppelmann, BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-archive-bagit at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at .
