Untar 1

[sleuth]

How can I untar a .tar.gz file on a linux box with perl,

system("tar -zxvf $in{'destination'}/$filename"

Give me an internal server error,

Thanks,

you could go to CPAN.org, get a module for tar and a module for gzip and do it all within perl... "If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito."

Guess what worked though,

`cd $in{'destination'}`;
`tar -zxvf $in{'destination'}/$filename`;

But you are right, I found a sweet module on cpan called Tar Archive, Tar.pm, I love the faqt that you wouldn't be using the system, just for what I'm doing I can't use it, this is an install script so you're supposed to put this thing on all kinds of different servers.

Just had to say this is sweet

`tar -C $in{'destination'} -zxvf $in{'destination'}/$filename`;
