Okay, I assume I am missing something if I run the following:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Archive::Tar;
use File::Find;
my @files;
my $pwd = 'C:\Source Code';
find(
    sub {
        if ( $File::Find::name !~ /\.svn/i)
        {
            push @files, $File::Find::name;
        }
    },
    $pwd
);
Archive::Tar->create_archive( 'Test.tbz', COMPRESS_BZIP, @files );

my $tar = Archive::Tar->new;
$tar->write('Test2.tbz', COMPRESS_BZIP);
$tar->add_files(@files);

[download]

The Test.tbz file is created fine with no issues and ends up about 92M.

But when it comes to the Test2.tbz file, I can watch it grow as it should but then before the $tar->add_files(@files); returns the output file shrinks and ends up only about 1k.

I can not figure out what is going wrong I have tried going through the Archive::Tar to try figuring out what I should be doing. But I am getting no where
