I don't know whether we can hope to get a reliable version of this in the near future, so give me hints, windows hackers :) If we don't, then I'll remove IPC::Run and began integrating Archive::Tar and its dependencies (notably Compress::Zlib). > b) Get archive::tar in the core, so we can eliminate the only need for > pipes by Archive::Extract.
