Subject: Archive::Extract does not validate that the ->extract_path is usable
When Archive::Extract (with $PREFER_BIN enabled) unrolls are tarball it does not check for executable permissions on the root directory returned by extract_path. As a result, Archive::Extract can return a path which cannot be chdir'ed into.

This is the default behaviour of /bin/tar which A::E really knows nothing about. It also doesn't appear to be 'wrong' according to the spec. I'm inclined to list this as a 'wont fix', but I'm open to clever suggestions...
