Subject: Android-compatible flags for gzip
Howdy, Turns out that on *some* android devices/versions, gzip won't take compound flags like '-cdf', but it'll accept them as '-c -d -f'. For example, -cdf worked on my OUYA, but fails on my phone and on a 4.0.3 emulator with: # gzip -cdf f -cdf: No such file or directory # gzip -c -d -f f gzip: can't gzopen f The patch for Archive::Extract is pretty simple: - my $cmd = [ $self->bin_gzip, '-cdf', $self->archive ]; + my $cmd = [ $self->bin_gzip, '-c', '-d', '-f', $self->archive ]; But I'm not sure if that might cause problems on other platforms?

It worked for me on FreeBSD so I have made the changes and pushed 0.70 to CPAN. Many thanks.
