Subject: "Couldn't read chunk at offset unknown"
I got a strange error with checksums (see below), but it kept going and the module installed just fine. This is with perl 5.9.1 on Solaris 8. ========== CPAN Terminal> i Games::QuizTaker Installing Games::QuizTaker [MSG] Trying to get 'file://disk1/src/CPANmini/authors/id/T/TS/TSTANLEY/Games-QuizTaker-1.27.tar.gz' [MSG] Trying to get 'file://disk1/src/CPANmini/authors/id/T/TS/TSTANLEY/CHECKSUMS' [MSG] Checksum matches for 'Games-QuizTaker-1.27.tar.gz' Couldn't read chunk at offset unknown at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/CPANPLUS/Internals/Extract.pm line 158 Couldn't read chunk at offset unknown at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/CPANPLUS/Internals/Extract.pm line 158 Couldn't read chunk at offset unknown at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/CPANPLUS/Internals/Extract.pm line 158 uestions,$Answers,$Randoms)=@_; my $Answer_Sep=$self->get_Answer_Delimiter; my $Max=$self->get_M: checksum error at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.9.1/CPANPLUS/Internals/Extract.pm line 158

It's most likely a corrupted tarball (where the headers and the content don't match up) -- there's quite a few of them, but often we manage to compensate for this. The warnings come from Archive::Tar actually, not from CPANPLUS. gnu tar has the same problems, but it chooses usually not to print the warnings. if run under -w, Archive::Tar will however...
