I don't do IRC, so I'm asking here instead. Besides, I gather that this will be interesting information, for other people who are interested in this project.
How do you propose we fix this?
Use Archive::Tar::Streamed [cpan.org]. This can be done by changing the code in CPAN.pm.
Don't use Archive::Tar::Streamed [cpan.org], but instead, incorporate its code into CPAN.pm. (The module code is quite short.)
Modify Archive::Tar [cpan.org] so it includes the functionality of Archive::Tar::Streamed [cpan.org]
Fix Archive::Tar [cpan.org] so it transparently includes th

Archive::Tar itself ALREADY contains the required functionality according to Jos, in the ->iter interface.
What's missing is that Archive::Extract isn't actually using the streaming API, it's using the in-memory API.
So Archive::Extract needs to recognise when the Archive::Tar version is high enough to support ->iter and then preferentially use that.

Urm, yeah, apparently I succeeded in skipping over one of the modules: Archive::Extract [cpan.org]: I immediately forgot about it after I read your post, likely because I think I wouldn't have done it that way.
