Actually, the dir structure for unix is the other slash. / not \.

Here is the example that I could find from my tar program for extracting:


sub untar{
    my $tar=Archive::Tar->new;
    @_ = glob ('*');
    foreach my $otar(@_){
        next unless($otar =~ /(\.tar)$/i);
        $tar->read($otar,1);
        my @contents = $tar->get_files();
        foreach(@contents){
            $tar->extract($_->{name});
            print "$tar-error\n";
            sleep 60;
            if($tar->error !~ //){
                print "$_->{name} extracted\n";
            }else{
                print "Error extracting $_->{name} from $otar\n";
            }
        }
        undef $tar;
        }
    }
