in reply to Archive::Tar::Streamed Unexpected end-of-file

Actually, You're not closing the file handle correctly.

Your $fh has no ->close method, it should be written as close $fh; instead;

As for the end of file, try running this before closing the file $tar->writeeof;

    BTY, thanks. The $tar->writeeof was the ticket.

    Um, yes it does :) otherwise it would die with an error 

    $ perl -e" STDOUT->close"
Can't locate object method "close" via package "IO::Handle" at -e line
+ 1.

$ perl -MIO::File -e" STDOUT->close"
