Doesn't ring any bells with me.
What version of Archive::Tar do you have ?
What's on line 25 ? and line 282 ?
For me (version 1.38_01):
-------------------------------------
21: $CHMOD = 1;
22: $DO_NOT_USE_PREFIX = 0;
23: $INSECURE_EXTRACT_MODE = 0 unless defined $INSECURE_EXTRACT_MODE;
24:
25: BEGIN {
26: use Config;
27: $HAS_PERLIO = $Config::Config{useperlio};
28:
29: ### try and load IO::String anyway, so you can dynamically
30: ### switch between perlio and IO::String
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
278: ### line 111
279: { my $nulls = join '', "\0" x 12;
280: unless( $nulls eq substr( $chunk, 500, 12 ) ) {
281: $self->_error( qq[Invalid header block at offset
$offset] );
282: next LOOP;
283: }
284: }
285:
286: ### pass the realname, so we can set it 'proper' right away
287: ### some of the heuristics are done on the name, so important
-------------------------------------
But I have the latest (build 824, perl-5.8.8).
Cheers,
Rob
