i just downloaded and unzipped harness 3.17 and 3.21 and both have full
trees. so the tarballs are fine as i expected. the question is why is
your tar and gzip failing on the recent harness modules but not
others. try this command on a know working tarball and one that breaks:
tar zxvf Test-Harness-3.17.tar.gz
the output should show all the paths as the files are extracted. i am
assuming the camelbones tools work the same as the normal gnu ones. if
you don't get a nice looking listing of the paths, something very odd is
happening. the only last idea is to upgrade camelbones itself.
