Heck, your program doesn't even handle tarballs anyway! :-) The other thing is that this stops ack from being pure Perl and totally cross-platform. xoxo, Andy	[reply]

I don't think that's a reason to omit the feature, it just needs some care and maybe not everyone can use the feature. There's plenty of goodness available by reading from a "gunzip -c" stream and only slightly less by reading from Archive::Tar::Streamed. Sometime within the last month I wrote an iterator to read file by file from a tarball using that module but without any hoops to jump through. It's all easy. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]

At this point, the big reason not to add the feature is that only one person has asked for it. xoxo, Andy	[reply]
