Yeah, sorry. 0. It has a default which is opposite of gnu tar.

And CPANPLUS I guess. I'm not sure what else happens in
Archive::Extract and whatever other code is involved, I've only dug
deep enough to determine that shlomi's problem is caused by something
other than gnu tar.
There is also still an issue using gnu tar if you run as root.
And are there other tar programs?
