I'm trying to use Archive::Tar to extract the contents of a large number of tarballs into a given directory. Super Search finds me lots of information on creating tarballs with this module, but I didn't really find anything on extracting the entire tarball. Archive::Tar module review was of some help. 

foreach (@sorted){
  my $tar = Archive::Tar->new($_);
  my @files = $tar->get_files;
  foreach my $file (@files){
    $tar->extract_file($file, "./EXTRACTED/$_");
  }
}

This snippet of code gives me: "No such file in archive: 'Archive::Tar::File=HASH(0xa1189a4)'". Which I believe means $file is a hash ref. But I'm not sure where to go from here.

Where am I going wrong here?

Thanks,
Mike

Update: Thanks tlm & itub, list_files was the issue!
