Hello,

Following line:
   if(!$tar->contains_file("./shlibs")) {
results with:
No such file in archive: './shlibs' at ./parsefiles line 120
if parsed tarball does not contain shlibs file.

This is annoying behavior. I am checking for the result of
contains_file() method to avoid unnecesary bug/warning reports.

I know about $Archive::Tar::WARN, but the reason for using
contains_file() is to keep operator from reading annoying warnings.
That's why this method should output nothing unless user declare sth
like:
$Archive::Tar::BE_REALLY_VERBOSE=1;

I really appreciate warning in any other situations, but in this one it
is something unfriendly, forcing me to use constructions like:
$Archive::Tar::WARN=0;
if($tar->contains_file($foo)) {
  ...
};
$Archive::Tar::WARN=1;

Best regards
        Artur
