Archive::Tar and Archive::Zip are very essential modules. You use them every time you run the CPAN shell. However, their implementation could use a little work and the authors could use a little help.
In all cases the need better tests, clearer docs, tutorials and a general cleanup of the code. If anyone is seriously interested in helping out the authors, please contact them. Or better yet, surprise them with a patch! Archive::Tar Stephen Zander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive::Zip Ned Konz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Michael G.
