Summary: Minor bugs in Archive::Tar when creating new archives
Initial Comment:
When trying to create a compressed tar file on Mac, I
discovered two small bugs in the MacPerl port of
Archive::Tar - I think it's that version that comes
with MacPerl5.6.1r2. These are:
1) It looks like umask returns undef on MacPerl. I get
a warning for every time I invoke add_data:
Use of unitialized value in integer subtraction (-)
File "...:Archive:Tar.pm'; Line 785
A similar bug must reside in the routine add_files.
2) When I call $tar->write('file.tgz', 1), the
created archive file is of type 'TEXT' (actually a
BBEdit file) -- MacPerl's default for new files. This
is bound to give problems when trying to FTP this file
without thinking. But it isn't very Mac-friendly, anyway.
I'm not sure what it's supposed to be... my file
extensions to type/creator coupling seems to be using
"Gzip" for compressed, ".tgz" and ".gz" files, and
"TARF" for uncompressed ".tar" files.
The latter may even not be considered a bug, but an
annoyance.
