It is still not on CPAN, as I won’t release it until it can at least read Open Packaging Convention files. The module is being written using Moose.

I think soon I will be releasing a version of it to CPAN. I am not too sure of what the module should be named as of yet. I am thinking possibly Archive::OPC since it is a packaging format (it is actually a ZIP file with a specific file layout).

Many Microsoft formats are using this convention and it is a standard (ISO/IEC 29500:2008 and ECMA-376) for anyone to use if they wish. I know it is used for Open Office XML and XPS.
