Hi Mark, many thanks for your feedback. The problem was that when I downloaded the file from the web, I stored it first on Windows. When I gunziped it, the output was ARSperl-1.85 without extension. Then I copied over this file to my Unix box. Then I had this problem with the tar (see my previous posts). So on my Unix I copied ARSperl-1.85 to ARSperl-1.85.tar so I was able to use tar on it. But then it could not create the directory ARSperl-1.85 you are mentioning not because I don't have permissions on the directory but because there was already a file called like the directory. I figured this out by trying to create the directory myself by hand. So now I moved the ARSperl-1.85 to another location so tar was able to untar. It could be maybe usefull to have a sort of README coming along with ARSperl-1.85.gzp to list few basics to start with. Maybe. Cheers Serouche
