If you're using the latest Module::Build & Archive::Tar (the default) no problem on Windows. I think I was the first to face this issue since I'm doing all my development (except os-specific modules) on Vista and reported this some time last year. It was fixed long ago. I'm not sure about the situation if you are using something else or a 3rd party gzip tool tho...
