Hi

I want to extract files from a .tar.gz archive one at a time and perform some computation on each file . Pls suggest a solution .. I tried the given below script but it is not sucessful.

use Archive::Tar;

$input="libpst.tar.gz";
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new($input);
my @files = $tar->list_files;
foreach my $file (@files)
{    
    
    
    $tar->extract_file($file, "C:/extract/$input");
    my $c++;
    print "$c";

}

The above script gives an error --> Could Not Open File C:/extract/libpst.tar.gz : Permission denied. I think i am not passing the correct extract_path as i want to extract the archive in a different directory. Please help?
