Subject: Cannot open archives unless name ends in ".RAR"
Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 19:33:33 -0500
To: <bug-Archive-Rar [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: "Charles McKilligan" <charles_mckilligan [...] yahoo.com>
I need to list the files contained in a lot of RAR archives which have been renamed to another extension. The problem is that when I try to open a RAR archive with name test.xxx it tries to open test.rar, which doesn't exist. WinRAR will list out the contents when I pass it the correct command line with the test.xxx filename. Obviously there is an easy workaround, but it would be nice to have it just be more straightforward. Thanks for a great module. This is in version 1.93 and on cygwin. Charles
This issue should be fixed by Archive::Rar 1.94 which was just released. It may take some time to propagate to all CPAN mirrors.
