[MacPerl] Archive::Tar

I've tried out my modifications of Archive::Tar, and both Suntar, diff, and
tar(1) seem happy, so I'm putting a copy of Tar.pm, tar.pl, and untar.pl in
<ftp://ftp.clark.net/ftp/pub/schinder/Beta/>.  Tar.pm is the modified
Archive::Tar, which should be put in an appropriate place.  tar.pl is a
droplet that will tar up any folder dropped on it (I think), and untar.pl
does the untar.  tar.pl is pretty verbose, untar.pl is silent.   Use with
caution, becuase there still might be lurking nastyness.   There are still
niceities that could be done like prepending relative paths with ./ and
flagging MacBinarization of all files, so that this would actually be
useful for transporting Mac files.  (At the moment, resource forks and
type/creator will simply be lost.)  But it seems to deal with paths
properly and to maintain modification times on both MacOS and Unix.
