I have downloaded http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/CGI.pm.tar.gz (to
pc then ftp to Unix as binary to directory when I want to install ) but am
not familiar with the tar processor... When I tried :
SUN2tar xvf *.tar
you need to unzip it first:
gunzip *.gz
or, maybe (on a sun os):
gzip -d *.gz
then run a tar -xvf *.tar
