graff: I use WinRAR and WinZip tools to unpack the TGZ file I produce using the script. It always used to show me the directories from the TAR file. In fact I can still use these 2 tools to open & see directories on older TGZ files created by my other Perl scripts. Unfortunately these tools aren't showing the dir info in the TAR file created using the script I showed here. When I was debugging this issue and was trying to force the longlink flag to true in Archive.pm it tried to produce the directory in the TAR file, which my Zip and RAR programs were able to identify. The TAR file itself had a slight increase in size due to storing dir info. But I reinstated the original Tar.pm file to its original state so as to not tinker with it. So thisis how I am pretty positive that the TAR produced by my script isn't storing dir info in the file. If it's my Winzip or WinRAR that's the problem, they can't show due info on similar TAR files produced by my scripts using an older Archive::Tar. Right? Please help.
