I'm using WinZip, or some other non-POSIX client, and files are not being extracted properly! By default, "Archive::Tar" is in a completely POSIX-compatible mode, which uses the POSIX-specification of "tar" to store files. For paths greather than 100 characters, this is done using the "POSIX header prefix". Non-POSIX-compatible clients may not support this part of the specification, and may only support the "GNU Extended Header" functionality. To facilitate those clients, you can set the $Archive::Tar::DO_NOT_USE_PREFIX variable to "true". See the "GLOBAL VARIABLES" section for details on this variable.
