Re: Re: gzipped tarballs, CPAN, winzip, and all that

WinRar? I'll look for that one. I also found Power Archiver which is no longer freeware. I figured out how to get Winzip to read the file. But my main point is to get tools that are just like what the original Perl folks use.

You can do that with Cygwin, a heavyweight Unix-in-a-Windows solution including a package managemer and a lot of doodads, or Gnu/Win32, a less involved collection of GNU software ports for Win32 platforms. If you just want a `tar` and `gzip` / `bzip2`, stuff from the latter project is far easier to get going. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
