CHANGES  view on Meta::CPAN

* Address #47053: Use Archive::Tar iter to keep from read the 
  tar into memory. Thanks to Robert Krimen and Doug Wilson for 
  their patches.

0.32    Fri Jun 12 13:23:11 2009

* Some tars have extra newlines in their '-x' output, 
  so grep for 'length' when parsing the file list, or 
  errors like this one can crop up:

* Add docs that A::E is not always thread safe. See RT #45671

0.31_03 Wed Mar 11 12:38:43 2009

* Newer versions of 'tar' (1.21 and up) now print record size
  to STDERR as well if v OR t is given (used to be both). This 
  is a 'feature' according to the changelog, so we must now only
  inspect STDOUT, otherwise, failures like these occur:
  nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/02/msg3230366.html
  Thanks to tcallawa from RedHat for tracking this down.

lib/Archive/Extract.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

=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.
