I think these are the two options you're after:
> -C, --directory DIR
change to directory DIR
--strip-components NUMBER, --strip-path NUMBER
strip NUMBER of leading components from file names before extraction
(1) tar-1.14 uses --strip-path, tar-1.14.90+ uses --strip-components
Example:
$ mkdir folder_name
$ tar -xf
> bfoz-p5-WWW-iTunesConnect-eeb32c951a0fde722a3b100101783894e4de8f38.tar
> --strip-components 1 --directory folder_name
$ ls -r folder_name/
t lib README Makefile.PL META.yml MANIFEST Changes
