in reply to Decoding .z and .gz files
The Archive::Tar module can optionally use Compress::Zlib (via the IO::Zlib module) to access tar files that have been compressed with gzip. Unfortunately tar files compressed with the Unix compress utility cannot be read by Compress::Zlib and so cannot be directly accesses by Archive::Tar.
If the uncompress or gunzip programs are available, you can use one of these workarounds to read .tar.Z files from Archive::Tar
