WinZip 8.1 and 9 cannot recognize the directory structure in some valid *.tar files.

If you download a file from here and WinZip says there is no directory structure, WinZip is wrong.

The link 'Installation help' just below shows you how to use tar and gunzip for DOS.

This bug has something to do with POSIX style paths.

Instructions for installing any Perl module are here:
