in thread Archive::Tar extract

I am doing what is written in the documentation , ie extract archive files one by one to specified location but it is not writing to the specified location

No, you are not doing what is written in the documentation. DrHyde is correct.

The documentation shows: $tar->extract_file( 'name/in/archive', 'name/i/want/to/give/it' );

Your code has this line though: $tar->extract_file($file, "C:/extract/$input"); # Extract $file to "C:/extract/libpst.tar.gz"

If you change it to the following it might work better: $tar->extract_file($file, "C:/extract"); # Extract $file to "C:/extract"
