Thanks for the response David.
When I do 'Archive::Tar->create_archive("/tmp/test.tar",0,glob("*.pl"))' it tars all the .pl files in the current working directory.
However, I need to tar a folder which has many folders inside it.
I tried 'Archive::Tar->create_archive("/tmp/test.tar",0,glob("*.*"))' and 'Archive::Tar->create_archive("/tmp/test.tar",0,glob("*"))'
But both gave only the files in the current folder and did not recurse inside it.
How do I archive a folder with many folders inside ? (perhaps the key lies in glob...i searched but couldn't find a flag to make it recurse)
something like the (untested) code below should work:
use Archive::Tar; use File::Find;
use strict; use warnings;
my @files;
find sub {
return if -d;
push @files, $File::Find::name;
}, 'Module-Build'Archive::Tar->create_archive( 'test.tar', @files );
