Archive::Tar on win32

hye,

I'm using Archive::Tar to create .tar.gz file on either Unix or Win32
boxes
The archive is created with the class method :
Archive::Tar->create_archive ('test.tgz',9, @filelist);
where @filelist contains a relative path file list extracted from a
given directory
This works fine on both platforms

On unix I can extract my archive with
gtar xvfz test.tgz
as well as with :
Archive::Tar->extract_archiv e ('test.tgz');

On Win NT, the perl command works fine for extraction, but when using
a front end application such as PowerArchiver, the files do not have
the path stored in the archives, so that they are all extracted in the
same directory

Any tips ??

thanks a lot

I'm running FreeBSD and trying to install mod_php4-4.3.3 from an updated ports tree. When it tries to fetch libtool-1.4.3.tar.gz, I get the following output and it eventually fails.

Has anyone else seen this and what are my options besides waiting for them to replace the missing files? ===> Returning to build of mod_php4-4.3.3,1 ===> ...

Is there a module for unpacking tar files in python? how about bzip2 and gzips? I know I can use the gzip module for gzips but is there anything that can detect what format a file is in and decopress and unpack it using the other methods? thanks -Matthew

I need to unpack on a Windows 2000 machine some Wikipedia media .tar archives which are compressed with TAR 1.14 (support for long file names and maybe some other features) . It seems, that Pythons tarfile module is able to list far more files inside the archives than WinRAR or 7zip or TotalCommander, but will it unpack all available files (largest archive size 17 GByte)? If tarfile is build on TAR 1.14 or TAR 1.15 it will be

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
