perl interface for manipulating ar archives
 Archive::Ar is a pure-perl way to handle standard ar archives.
 .
 This is useful if you have those types of old archives on the system, but it
 is also useful because .deb packages for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution are
 ar archives. This is one building block in a future chain of modules to build,
 manipulate, extract, and test debian modules with no platform or architecture
 dependence.
 .
 You may notice that the API to Archive::Ar is similar to Archive::Tar, and
 this was done intentionally to keep similarity between the Archive::*
 modules.
