Thank you for stepping forward. I'm CC-ing this to Stephen, the current maintainer and Schwern because I seem to recall that Schwern sent Stephen patches. I also sent patches to Stephen which I cannot find anymore. Maybe Stephen, if you still have them, could you send the patches to Jos to integrate them? I ask y'all if there are any objections to passing maintainership to Jos. If there are no objections till Wednesday, I'll take the necessary steps on PAUSE to allow Jos official uploading for Archive::Tar. Thanks again, -- andreas
