What is are the modules to work efficiently with archives
that used bzip2 compression?

foo-1.1-tar.bz2

There seem to be CPAN modules

Compress::Bzip2
File::Archive
Archive::Tar

But the integration of these to handle bz2 archives is not mentioned.
Could someone point me to example code or further ideas?

Afaik Archive::Tar doesn't handle bz2 archives. So you'll have to use
Compress::Bzip2 to handle the compression/decompression, and Archive::Tar to
handle the tarring/untarring.

The test scripts that come with the source of both modules should contain
code that you'll find helpful. And there's also 'perldoc Archive::Tar' and
'perldoc Compress::Bzip2'.

Cheers,
Rob
