Hi Andrew, Thanks for the quick fix; It's good to know that Archive::Tar 
is now being actively maintained.

Ken, Since a file stat and test is a relatively expensive operation, and 
since the chatter produced is non-fatal, doesn't break anything, and 
will go away in future versions of Archive::Tar, I would suggest 
reverting this change. If anyone complains about the chatter, we can 
suggest that they bump their version of Archive::Tar.

Randy.
