Subject: pax_global_header extracted as file
It has been brought to my attention that Archive::Tar extracts the pax_global_header as a file. Take as an example: $CPAN/authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/perl-ldap-0.37.tar.gz It contains such a pax_global_header. GNU tar does not extract these comments as files since version 1.14, so I suppose Archive::Tar should follow their lead. Thanks,

Thanks for the report. I've added this to A::T and 1.39_04 and upwards will now do the right thing. Cheers, -- Jos
