Use  system instead of  exec. Also you can use glob instead of `ls ...`. And Archive::Tar is a good startingpoint for your tar issue.

    from Arch::Tar I dont know how to check if the archive is healty or not. Btw. what do you think about the rest of the code ? as the $testit should be the most important in this to determine if a TAR archive is going to be used or not.
