in reply to help with unraring

Is there some reason you cannot just shell out to e.g. run 7-Zip (specifically, 7z.exe), which can decompress RAR files?

    I want to do it programatically because i need it in a large script

      That's not a relevant response to Argel's suggestion; or, it's not relevant based on anything you've told us about your requirements.

      Sure, you'll find many nodes here with which urge use of Perl's own capabilities or modules to achieve a goal, but that's NOT the same as deprecating use of an outside capability... nor somehow is it somehow 'non-"programatically".'

        I want to extract one file perform some operation and then extract the next which is not possible by 7zip as it would extract the full content of rar file in one go
