Re: [Module::Build] Archive::Tar file format

On approximately 1/12/2004 3:15 AM, came the following characters from

Well, I still don't understand why all the discussion is about TAR files 
with paths greater than 100 characters, although that seems to be 
technical impetus for some of the changes to the TAR file format.  My 
TAR file has only paths less than 100 characters.  But still, this 
process doesn't work...

While at the end, ppm claims to have install GFfP, none of the files 
have actually been installed.

Along the way, PowerArchiver 2001 isn't able to see the pathnames.

I see a bunch of new messages about "make longlink? 0 0" during the 
build of the TAR file; maybe I need a newer version of Module::Build to 
turn on the new option in Archive::Tar?  Maybe the message is just a 
debugging message to see if M::B actually turned on the option?
