Re^2: Archive::Tar then File::Copy?

I am not using the Linux binary tar. I am using the perl module Archive::Tar. Therefore both the untar process and the copy process are both being performed by the script therefore I can not just pipe the output of the tar binary to my perl script.

I will have to come up with something I guess, it appears no one understands what I am trying to do and I do not know how else to say it.

To be honest, I'm not entirely convinced that you understand what is going on enough to explain the problem. The reason I say this is that if you're unarchiving via Archive::Tar, by the time that `$tar->extract()` finishes, all the files are fully present in the output directory. The problem is most likely elsewhere, or the problem is incompletely described.	[reply] [d/l]
