.SH "NAME"
Alien::Package::Tgz \- an object that represents a tgz package
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is an object class that represents a tgz package, as used in Slackware. 
It also allows conversion of raw tar files.
It is derived from Alien::Package.
.SH "CLASS DATA"
.IX Header "CLASS DATA"
.IP "scripttrans" 4

Translation table between canoical script names and the names used in
tgz's.

.IX Header "METHODS"
.IP "checkfile" 4
.IX Item "checkfile"
Detect tgz files by their extension.
.IP "install" 4
.IX Item "install"
Install a tgz with installpkg. Pass in the filename of the tgz to install.
.Sp
installpkg (a slackware program) is used because I'm not sanguine about
just untarring a tgz file. It might trash a system.
.IP "scan" 4
.IX Item "scan"
Scan a tgz file for fields. Has to scan the filename for most of the
information, since there is little useful metadata in the file itself.
.IP "unpack" 4
.IX Item "unpack"
Unpack tgz.
.IP "prep" 4
.IX Item "prep"
Adds a populated install directory to the build tree.
.IP "build" 4
.IX Item "build"
Build a tgz.
