Archive::Lha::Header::Level1
You usually don't need to use this directly. See the Archive::Lha::Header manpage for examples.
This parses Level 1 headers found mainly in older archives created in the MS-DOS era. Also, some of the older ports, including LHa for UNIX, still prefer this header for compatibility reasons. Historically, Level 1 header, which is actually a combination of previous Level 0 header and following Level 2 header, was designed to foster the transition to Level 2 header. However, as Level 2 implementation delayed, Level 1 archives prevailed enough and could not be ignored.
Level 1 header also has rather severe limitation for the path length of the archived file. However, Level 1 header can use extended headers to store longer file/directory names. Multibyte strings in the header may be encoded in shift-jis, or in euc-jp, or in other encodings.
