The poor man's "tar": 

binmode(STDOUT);
for my $file ( @ARGV ) {
    open(FILE,"<$file") or die "Can't read $file: $!\n";
    binmode(FILE);
    print "$file: ",-s $file,$/;
    while(<FILE>) {
        print;
    }
}

followed by 
binmode(STDIN);
my $file;
while(  defined( $file= <STDIN> )  ) {
    chomp $file;
    $file =~ s/: (\d+)$//  or  die "Invalid header: $file\n";
    my $size= $1;
    open(FILE,">$file")  or  die "Can't create $file: $!\n";
    warn "Extracting $size bytes to $file...\n";
    my $len= $size < 4096 ? $size : 4096;
    my $read;
    while(  $read= sysread(STDIN,$rec,$len)  ) {
        $size -= $read;
        $len= $size   if  $size < $len;
        print FILE $rec;
