Hello Anonymous Monk and thanks for looking to this old post, are you arguing that my `cpanm` test failed for an ancient `tar.exe` I have in path, specifically from UnXUtils? The very same `tar.exe` is supposed to be used by the succesful `cpan` attempt to extract Text::Xslate ..so it should be not `tar.exe` the guilty. Even if not provided in `cpan` conf `tar.exe` is the same: `cpan> o conf ... tar [ ] ... cpan> quit Lockfile removed. which tar.exe C:\EX_D\ulisseDUE\bin\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\tar.exe` [download] L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
