in reply to Where do you actually extract a tarball? Strawberry

I multitask constantly, and I usually forget about it until I run out of RAM and the computer starts swapping. That's when I experience the "couldn't untar" syndrome. FWIW, try rebooting, then try cpan without running any other programs.
