Archive::Tar will install without IO::Zlib, but it is
clearly documented that it can't handle compressed or
gzipped tarballs unless you install IO::Zlib.
Otherwise you can still do regular, non-compressed
tarballs. IMO, this is a good approach.
"In adjectives, with the addition of inflectional endings, a changeable long vowel (Qamets or Tsere) in an open, propretonic syllable will reduce to Vocal Shewa. This type of change occurs when the open, pretonic syllable of the masculine singular adjective becomes propretonic with the addition of inflectional endings."
