Better way #1: 
sub del_web() {
  ...
  my $tar = Archive::Tar->new();
  $tar->read("$web_to_del.tar.gz",1);
  find(\&archive($tar), "$web_base/$web_to_del");
  $tar->write("$defunct_dir/$web_to_del.tar.gz",1);
  ...
}
sub archive {
  my $tar = shift;
  $tar->add_files($File::Find::name); 
}

Better way #2: 
sub del_web() {
  ...
  my $tar = Archive::Tar->new();
  $tar->read("$web_to_del.tar.gz",1);
  find(sub {$tar->add_files($File::Find::name)}, "$web_base/$web_to_de
+l");
  $tar->write("$defunct_dir/$web_to_del.tar.gz",1);
  ...
}

I also took the liberty of fixing the "my" statements to be in scalar context like they belong.
