which may not be feasible on your system. Consider setting the global
variable C<$Archive::Extract::PREFER_BIN> to C<1>, which will prefer
the use of command line programs and won't consume so much memory.

See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section below for details.

=head2 Bunzip2 support of arbitrary extensions.

Older versions of C</bin/bunzip2> do not support arbitrary file
extensions and insist on a C<.bz2> suffix. Although we do our best
to guard against this, if you experience a bunzip2 error, it may
be related to this. For details, please see the C<have_old_bunzip2>
method.

=head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES

=head2 $Archive::Extract::DEBUG

Set this variable to C<true> to have all calls to command line tools
be printed out, including all their output.
This also enables C<Carp::longmess> errors, instead of the regular
C<carp> errors.

Good for tracking down why things don't work with your particular
setup.

Defaults to C<false>.

=head2 $Archive::Extract::WARN

This variable controls whether errors encountered internally by
C<Archive::Extract> should be C<carp>'d or not.

Set to false to silence warnings. Inspect the output of the C<error()>
method manually to see what went wrong.

Defaults to C<true>.

=head2 $Archive::Extract::PREFER_BIN

This variables controls whether C<Archive::Extract> should prefer the
use of perl modules, or commandline tools to extract archives.

Set to C<true> to have C<Archive::Extract> prefer commandline tools.

Defaults to C<false>.

=item Mime magic support

Maybe this module should use something like C<File::Type> to determine
the type, rather than blindly trust the suffix.

=item Thread safety

Currently, C<Archive::Extract> does a C<chdir> to the extraction dir before
extraction, and a C<chdir> back again after. This is not necessarily
thread safe. See C<rt.cpan.org> bug C<#45671> for details.
