Hi,

I need to extract files from a tar that has been submitted via an HTML upload (cgi.pm)

At the moment the file is uploaded to the correct directory with the following persmissions..

drwxr-xr-x   2 nobody   nobody       512 Oct  7 15:40 ./
drwxrwxrwx  46 mf139823 staff       1536 Oct  7 15:40 ../
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody    461824 Oct  7 15:40 sample.tar

I thought it would be a simple case of creating a tar object and asking it extract all files in the archive. Apparently not? What am I doing thats crazy

open TARFILE, "/.....$submissionID/$user_File_Filename";

$tar = Archive::Tar->new();
$tar->extract_archive(TARFILE);

[download]

Any help would be gratefully recieved

Many thanks

M
