Thank you for your polite enquiry. NETAPORTER is an online fashion retail website. They are not 'releasing your fucking module'. Instead they have an internal process that builds perl and internally used CPAN distributions into an easily installed RPM package on our internal systems that require it. The original author of this process chose (for the sake of convenience I presume, he's not here to ask) to use CPAN::Site to build a local mirror for this process and modify the author *only* when storing the tarball in the generated, local CPAN repository. This only affects the path used and in no way modifies the content of the distribution; all contents and attributions are left untouched. I hope this answers your question and that we can now return to the strange behaviour we're seeing and was described in my original report.

My apologies for the rudeness, just too many weird things happening lately (like me not getting any email from RT for months) so sometimes I'm a bit paranoid. Anyway, I converted the dist to dzil and am using Archive::Tar (and NOT Archive::Tar::Wrapper) so the next release should fix this problem, I cannot upload right now because PAUSE is down. What I suspect is the reason for people sometimes using bsdtar is building dists on Mac OS X, where /usr/bin/tar is bsdtar due to having a FreeBSD userland. I overrode mine with gnutar from macports, just for good measure, but any dist I build with dzil should just use Archive::Tar.
