in thread Creating a tarball

G'day haj,

Thanks for your feedback.

I did come across ptar during my original research but didn't look at its source code: I wasn't aware of its use of File::Find. I'm extending legacy code which already uses Path::Tiny — discussed elsewhere in this thread — so, in the absence of other suggestions, that's probably the direction in which I'm heading. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion: I'll keep it in mind as a possible alternative option.

    Path::Tiny is fine! The ptar utility shouldn't use it because Path::Tiny is not in the "core" Perl distribution (yet), but since you already have it in your code, I'd prefer it, too.
