in thread Clean smoke-test install for Inline based modules using Inline::MakeMaker

Grrr. I hate EU::MM. I have more trouble with that module than all the other modules I've used put together!

Every other module I've ever 'gunzip & tar -xvf'd, unpacks all it contents into a subdirectory it creates with the same name as the package. The latest version of EU::MM just dumped it's entire contents into the current directory. Which means an hours work trying to clean up after it. What a crock!

I'll get back to you to tomorrow.

      Er, yes it does. On my machine.

        Wow ... something weird going on there. If I grab http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MS/MSCHWERN/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.62.tar.gz by clicking on that link (in the browser), then gzip -d and tar xvf the file, it unwraps into a directory named 'ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.62' (as expected).

        I think that's the same tarball as wget fetched for you ... so we're left to ponder what's making the difference.
        Is it something that wget does ? or gunzip ? or tar ?

        It's hard to believe that wget could be the culprit ... more likely something that your gunzip or tar is doing.
        And if it's only EU::MM that's afflicted with this condition (and not other source tarballs from CPAN), then it's even more mysterious - and, of course, indicative of there being something unique about the way Schwern bundles up his source tarballs.

        Cheers,
        Rob

        Oh yeah, that is a problem with your version of tar/gunzip from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

        I had some similar problems with tar from http://gnuwin32.sf.net

        today I'm sucessfully using tar -zxvf from mingw 

        $ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.23

        though I have successfully used ptar

        FWIW, as Anonymous Monk I really dislike your usage of spoiler tags instead of readmore tags

      I've seen it too, and AFAIK, its probably the dev tarball from http://makemaker.org

      though the latest version is ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.63_02/
