I'm unable to build this package on Solaris 10 due to weird UID/GID

Sorry, I guess this was perl-www, not perl-xml but the problem still
stands.  Openpkg's built-in tar doesn't appear to be able to handle
the WWW-Search tarball.  Solaris /bin/tar is fine with it.  I think
its a signed/unsigned integer issue:

Yes, the value 4294967295 tar complains about is (2^32)-1. BSD tar, GNU
tar and star all seem to at least _see_ that the WWW-Search-2.489.tar.gz
tarball has some strange things in it. But I've no clue why Solaris tar
happily displays 400/401 here.

As the tarballs nevertheless unpack correctly (except for the user/group
ownerships which are of no interest to us anyway) I've now applied two
really ugly workarounds to resolve this issue:

Ralph - the tar I removed was the separate rpm package, not the built-in one if that makes a difference.
