I am running the current release of Camelbox. It was created during a Google Summer of Code, and I don't believe it has been updated since. You're used to the Linux tar as well. GNU won't do that. ------------------------------------------------- C:\camelbox\.cpan\build\tmp-Test>tar xzvf D:\Downloads\Test-Harness-3.21.tar.gz tar: Cannot use compressed or remote archives tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now ------------------------------------------------- But piping from gzip still works.
