Subject: source distribution doesn't use tar, uses zip

Source distribution doesn't use tar. It uses zip which breaks auto-downloaders/installers like Webmin. -- ======================================================= joel@natividads.com * wireless@natividads.com Think Different!

It is normal for CPAN to have .zip archives (and .tar.bz2 is possible. but not used). I cannot use other type of archive because of CPAN restrictions (.tar.gz generated with my tar on Windows has world-writable files). I'd suggest to submit this as a bug to Webmin and send me link to it in their bug tracker. In case this bug will be rejected, I can try other ways to solve this problem - but I can change only my modules. If you have fresh Perl like 5.10.0, no bugs were fixed or features added in Text::ParseWords since then. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Module::Build creates distribs using Archive::Tar instead of a system tar, and so creates valid .tar.gz distribs even on Win32.
