Creating a .tgz file

[SpiNz]

I need to put about 8 files in one directory into a .tgz file. The program I am writing needs to be able to run on any computer, which I think is where my problem starts. I can't use a package that is not default on any computer with perl installed. Is there a way using the default packages in Perl that can allow me to create a .tgz file? (needs to be both unix/windows compatible)

Thanks

Take a look at some of the modules from cpan and include the appropriate modules with your script (take a look at the use lib directive.)

Alternately, you could include the appropriate code from those same modules in your script.
