1.60 23/04/2010
- Apply patch from Darrell K. [RT #54850] that makes write() and create_archive() close only handles
  they opened.

    When you pass a filehandle to Archive::Tar::write() or create_archive(),
    it closes the filehandle after writing to it. I think it makes more
    sense not to close a handle that A::T didn't open, since the application
    may need to write additional data to it. (Consider sockets, package
    files containing encapsulated tar archives, etc.)

    Example:

    $ perl -e 'use Archive::Tar; open(PKG, ">mypkg") or die "open: $!"; my
    $tar = Archive::Tar->new; $tar->add_data("foo.txt","hello");
    $tar->write(\*PKG); print PKG "more data" or die "print: $!";'
    print: Bad file descriptor at -e line 1.

- Fool the installer into replacing our scripts that were installed by core with versiononly set.

1.58 17/02/2010
- Apply a patch from toddr@null.net that addreses RT #54714

  Subject: $@ not cleaned up after eval

  This section of code seems to be trying to use future functionality
  not yet present in IO::Zlib (tell). I was chasing another bug and getting very confused
  by this population of $@. Could I request you cleanup $@ if you expect and/or don't care
  about failure from this eval?

1.56 03/02/2010
- Apply a patch from Mark Swayne that addresses RT #50471;

  Archive::Tar generates file headers with space padded numbers for size,
  mtime and checksum. This format is incompatible with some versions of
  the busybox implementation of tar (I am using 1.13.2), which requires 0
  padded numbers (despite comments in the source that say otherwise).

  I've included a patch that adds a control flag that enables zero padded
  numbers in the header. It passes all tests with ActiveState Perl 5.8.8
  on WinXP.

1.54 10/09/2009
- Apply a patch from Niko Tyni (ntyni@debian.org) that resolves RT #48879;

    As seen in [rt.cpan.org #48879], although the recommended way of
    retrieving the last error is to use an instance method ($tar->error),
