That does not compute! (Score:1)
Hi Adam
I just downloaded Module-Metadata-Changes-1.04.tgz from CPAN central, and unpacked it successfully with both GNU's tar and 7z.
I'm sure hoping you had a transient error on your machine.

Hi Adam
Ahh. Now I see.
You didn't really mean they 'fail to extract'.
You meant, in my case, either:
1) The files t/Changes and t/CHANGES are different under Unix, but the same under Windows, in which case the MANIFEST check produces an error, or
2) make test produces an error, because I had used $ENV{'HOME'} instead of using File::HomeDir->my_home.
Either way, $many x $thanx for exposing not 1 but 2 problems with my distro.
CPAN here we come!

Nope, they literally failed to Archive::Extract.
But then you have a duplicate file in your tarballs (Changes and CHANGES are the same file) so that's the error that probably happened.
