| Summary : Perl extension allowing programs to open files inside
|
Description :
Linux systems (and probably other Unix-y OSes like *BSD) have a \'loop\'
device that allow you to take a filesystem embedded in another file, and
mount it as if it were normal media:
mount file.iso /cdrom -t iso9660 -o ro,loop
Unfortunately, this suffers from some problems:
* *
Windows users cannot benefit from this. (_You_ may not think that Windows
is important, but you are not the only person on the planet.)
* *
For the systems that *do* support such a loop device, this only works if
the kernel has been compiled loop device compiled in; thus, using this
feature may require recompilation of the kernel.
* *
And for systems that have a loop device, and for which the loop device is
enabled, a user also must normally be root in order to execute the mount
command. Not everybody has root on the machines they\'re using.
VirtualFS::ISO9660 was written to avoid these three issues entirely, by
internally emulating a ISO-9660 filesystem driver. It can be used to list
the contents of a directory (with ->opendir() and ->readdir()), and it can
be used to open files inside the ISO image and read their contents.
