Ignorance?

Lack of tar?

Make::Maker generates a makefile which has the following variables:

# --- MakeMaker dist section:

DISTVNAME = $(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)
TAR  = tar
TARFLAGS = cvf
ZIP  = zip
ZIPFLAGS = -r
COMPRESS = gzip --best
SUFFIX = .gz
SHAR = shar
PREOP = @$(NOOP)
POSTOP = @$(NOOP)
TO_UNIX = @$(NOOP)
CI = ci -u
RCS_LABEL = rcs -Nv$(VERSION_SYM): -q
DIST_CP = best
DIST_DEFAULT = tardist

I don't have zip or tar nor do I plan on installing them anytime soon. I am never afraid of installing perl modules however, and always find Archive::Tar installed wherever I go. It is for these kinds of situations that this script is useful. It is a "perl" solution. That is all (I would like to see `perl make' one of these days, no need for make or nmake or dmake or whatever crazy make there is ;D).

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
perl -e "$q=$_;map({chr unpack qq;H*;,$_}split(q;;,q*H*));print;$q/$q;"
