hi,

I think problem is with creating the Tar file. I am using the code as below: 
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new(); 
my @filelist = ("txt.del", "txt1.del");

$tar->add_files(@filelist);
$tar->write("newpart.tar", 2);
my $error =    $tar->error();
print "error is $error \n";

[download]
By using the $tar->write("newpart.tar", 2);, I am getting the error as "Invalid archive directory".
But to use the $tar->write("newpart.tar");, the tar file size is very large.

So which compression value can be used such that the tar file size will be less and will open without errors.

Thank you,
Santhi
