This was very hard to do, but with the recent stabilization of the IO::.*::bzip2 modules, this has become much easier I have just uploaded 1.39_02 to CPAN, with bzip2 support. Here is the relevant changes entry: * important changes in version 1.39_02 25/08/2008: - Address #31806: Please add support for bzipped tar files. Archive::Tar now supports reading/writing tar.bz2 files. - Since IO::Zlib is now core, it is now a default dependency. - Added Package::Constants as a dependency to ease the use of A::T::Constants - Dependency on IO::Compress::Bzip2 and IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 is on by default, but can be negated with the -n switch when building: 'perl Makefile.PL -n' - Improve documentation on the new ->iter function
