> From: Andersson Kimmo <Kimmo.Andersson@digia.com> > Subject: Problems with Archive::Extract > Date: February 10, 2015 at 6:10:58 AM PST > To: "kane@cpan.org" <kane@cpan.org> > > Hi ! > > We have to unpack a lot of gz files and I have written a Perl script for that. I uses Archive::Extract. In principle everything seemed to be alright, no errors were met. > > But I have problems with the extracted and unpacked files. I cannot open a Word document and all the picture files (jpg, gif) are messy and grainy. Unfortunately it seems that all the extracted files are unusable. If I extract the gz file with 7Zip on my Windows7 machine the extracted file is fine. > > Do You have any ideas ? They would be appreciated. > > This is my Perl version: > This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread > (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) > > Copyright 1987-2013, Larry Wall > > Binary build 1802 [298023] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com > Built Apr 15 2014 10:38:37 > > To get rid of runtime errors with Archive::Extract (C-compiler…) I have set up environment variable ACTIVEPERL_CONFIG_DISABLE. > > Naturally I could switch to another Perl module to unpack gz files but let’s see first what You could do. I have tried to find information from Internet but to no avail. > > If needed I am can supply more details. I guess there might be something wrong in my environment. > > Best regards > > Kimmo Andersson > Senior Software Designer > Digia Plc > Piippukatu 11 > FI-40100 JYVÄSKYLÄ > FINLAND > > Email: Kimmo.Andersson@Digia.com > Mobile: +358 50 384 3734 > > Visit us at: www.digia.com > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE > This message and any attachments are intended only for use by the named addressee and may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
