could anything.tgz be a variable?
$tar->read('$tar_file",1, { 'extract' => 1 });
I could not get it to work passing a variable...ideas?
thanks

Greetings mrbbq,

You have a single-quote just before $tar_file that doesn't match the double-quote at the end. You should either change the single to a double, or (and better) just drop the quotes.

use strict;
my $tar_file = 'anything.tgz';
$tar->read( $tar_file, 1, { 'extract' => 1 } );
