Shishir -
I'm using Win32 also (I have Linux on one machine
but haven't done much with it yet.) I think that the
unix 'tar' utility gives you a .tar file (uncompressed)
and then that file is passed thru a compression utility:
zip => .tar.z, gzip => .tar.gz, or something like
bzip => .tar.bz.
Of course, the modern 'tar' program will invoke
a compression utility for you via command line switches.
Most of the unix tarballs I have seen are in the .tar.gz
format.
I know this is like the blind leading the blind, but
I hope it helps anyway.
Aloha => Beau.

Subject: Question- Archive::zip/tar
Hello,
I haven't tried it yet and wanted to know if anyone has the clue before I
delve deeper into it (just being lazy :)). According to the documentation ,
the Archive::Tar module supports the *.gz format. I didn't find anything
about *.Z (the compress format on UNIX). Does Archive::Tar supports this
format but and somehow was skipped in the documentation ? If not, is there
a module that does the same for *.Z??
Thanks
Shishir
