Comment (by ballapete):

 Replying to [comment:9 berg-michael]:

 I have on `PPC Tiger` the problem with `source file archives *.tar.gz`.
 Simple invocation of `tar <whatever>` results in failure, but invoking
 `tar z<whatever>` seems to work fine… (with regular complaint `tar: Record
 size = 8 blocks`)

 It also works to `gunzip -c <ARCHIVE> | tar <whatever>`.

 But these files, `fetched` today until now while `upgrading`, do not fit
 into the latter method: `Test-Simple-1.302204.tar.gz, ExtUtils-
 Config-0.010.tar.gz, ExtUtils-Helpers-0.028.tar.gz, ExtUtils-
 InstallPaths-0.014.tar.gz, JSON-MaybeXS-1.004008.tar.gz, Module-Build-
 Tiny-0.051.tar.gz, Try-Tiny-0.32.tar.gz`.
