in thread [Win32] PerlIO-Layers fails 4 tests on perl-5.10 only

That tends to happens when you have to do these things manually because people use broken tools.

Which broken tools are you using and why?

I see no problem with PerlIO-Layers-0.009.tar.gz, ptar or tar from gnuwin32/unxutils/mingw or 7zip all handle it fine

    There nuttin' wrong with the tools I use. This is me unpacking the most complex perl package I could find (note the presence of a makefile):

    <Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread>

    The problem only seems to arise with packages built with Module::Build:

    C:\Perl64\packages>gunzip PerlIO-Layers-0.010.tar.gz

C:\Perl64\packages>tar -xvf PerlIO-Layers-0.010.tar

      So which tar.exe or whatever are you using?

      Module::Build has nothing to do with it, there is nothing wrong with PerlIO-Layers-0.010.tar.gz

[reply]
        there is nothing wrong with PerlIO-Layers-0.010.tar.gz

        And yet...
