Re: trouble with Archive::Tar : Can not read compressed format in

thank you for the response

i used that code to correct my problem :

qx{gunzip $arch_name_tar_z};

and then sent the new file to Archive::Tar (with success)

oddly, the archive must have been compressed with "compress", but gunzip
does the job well
