That makes no sense. If you can read the file, you can extract the contents from it. Are you in a 'sudo' jail where you are not allowed to run 'gunzip'? Try Archive::Tar, which if IO::Zlib is installed, will be able to read the files. -- Mark Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet Systems Architect DigitalNet, Inc. $_=q;KvtuyboopuifeyQQfeemyibdlfee;; y.e.s. ;y+B-x+A-w+s; ;y;y; ;;print;; _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
