Module::Build version 0.31 creates archives itself and does not suffer from this problem.
Users of ExtUtils::Makemaker can:
1. migrate to Module::Build using my App::EUMM::Migrate
2. use ptar from Archive::Tar with "-C" (CPAN) option that I've added. Just upgrade to version 1.66 and add
dist => {
TAR => 'ptar',
TARFLAGS => '-c -C -f',
},
to WriteMakefile call.
For Module::Install you can use Module::Install::PerlTar 1.001, it also uses Archive::Tar 1.66.
Add following code to your Makefile.PL:
use_ptar() if author_context; #from Module::Install::PerlTar

John Carmack, co-founder of id Software: "I actually think that Direct3D is a rather better API today. ... Microsoft had the courage to continue making significant incompatible changes to improve the API, while OpenGL has been held back by compatibility concerns. Direct3D handles multi-threading better, and newer versions manage state better."
Also from article: "While newer versions of OpenGL have kept up-to-date with some of the features found in DirectX, they usually have to be implemented via extensions, rather than the main API.".
