    How are you transferring the file from windows to linux? Sounds like you're ftp'ing but not putting the ftp session into binary mode.

    As an alternative, you might want to look at Archive::Zip. It is amazingly flexible, much more so than tar and all the linux flavors I have run into have zip available.
