Hi, Sorry for the slow reply--I've not been around much lately.

I normally run all my perl test suites in an environment that doesn't
actually have tools such as gzip and tar at all, and that's the
environment in which the errors that I reported came from.

I've also now tried with a Cygwin bin/ folder added to the path (and
Cygwin's gzip and tar, of course, do work nicely together, as per your
command-line above) but I still get failures.

The failures are different with/without the Cygwin bin/ folder on the
path, so I've attached the full output of both. Sorry, I don't have time
to investigate further right now.

Again that was run in an environment without gzip/tar, and also still
fails even with Cygwin's gzip/tar.
