Subject: Add an autodie feature
It would be handy if Archive::Extract threw an exception on error rather than silently failing.  To this end, an "autodie" attribute could be passed to new(), defaulting to off to maintain backwards compat.  This would cause extract() and extract_path() (and anything else applicable) to die with a sensible error message.
