$Archive::Tar::CHMOD = 1 or 0? The default is 1. From the Pod: By default, Archive::Tar will try to chmod your files to whatever mode was specified for the particular file in the archive. In some cases, this may not be desired. In that case, set this variable to 0 to disable chmod-ing. So I think 0 would leave it to the umask, or am I reading this wrong? If it's that easy, I can go patch CPAN.pm right away. -- David
