kmx: Compress::unLZMA SEGV's on any 64-bit system (RT# 42132), and this is part of "toolchain" level (what's required, supposedly, for CPAN.pm to work) I'll see if I can skip this one, but feel free to take it on in your spare time if you can.

Hi Curtis, the situation with lzma related modules on CPAN is quite chaotic 1/ Compress::unLZMA - has an interface only for extracting - unfortunately used by Archive::Extract - it uses an old version of LZMA SDK (not working on 64bit) included directly into the modules's tarball - fixing Compress::unLZMA = upgrade LZMA SDK included in Compress::unLZMA (according my short research it is not that simple as SDK has changed significantly meanwhile) 2/ IO::Compress::Lzma + Compress::Raw::Lzma - they expect external lzma library (-lzma) from http://tukaani.org/xz/ - they seem to have more complex interface than Compress::unLZMA - in pod doc you can find "WARNING -- This is a Beta release." - I am able to prepare -lzma library without much troubles (already tried, build is smooth) - these 2 are promissing but still beta and not supported by Archive::Extract 3/ Compress::LZMA::Simple - it expects external lzmalib library (-lzmalib) based more or less LZMA SDK - they point to lib sources at http://tokyocabinet.sourceforge.net/misc/ - to me this module seems a little bit strange What do you think? -- kmx
