Hi Kailash,
If you are doing the compression from with a Perl script, use Archive::Tar
(which uses Compress::Zlib in the background). After installing the modules,
use the following commands to see their documentation (which will give you the
basic syntax):
perldoc Archive::Tar
perldoc Compress::Zlib
Cheers,
Kevin
