If someone would like to send them to me, I'll get my act together a
little better and get a new release out.

A little of both. I know that Archive::Tar doesn't andle some
boundary conditions well, specificall dealing with non-compressed
archives.

Yes, the more help the better. I'm by no means a model maintainer; I
have been neglectful of Archive::Tar for the last twelve months. I do
have things I'd like to see Archive::Tar do, however, including
subsume Archive::Zip's functionality. If other folks put the time &
energy into creating patches, I can put the time & energy into getting
releases out.
