I can confirm that all three levels of Java archives (jar, war, and
ear) are just renamed zip files. It looks like
Archive::Zip::MemberRead* can give you transparent (to Perl) access to
a file inside a zip file.
I'd just like to inject that I believe, while the .jar, .war (and
.ear? - never heard of that one) have the same format as .zip, they
have rules about what file(s)/directory structure must (or should?) be
obeyed. eg I think the .war required a WEB-INF folder with a .manifest
file
