I've downloaded tar.gz files many times before. This is the first time I've
run into this. Unfortunately, my Linux box is locked tight behind a firewall
and it has no direct Internet access, so I have to use a PC to get the file
and place it on a network drive, then tunnel in from the Linux box to fetch
it. Therefore, I cannot use wget. I tried getting the file with the latest
versions of both IE and Netscape and my results are the same, except using
Netscape I get a file extention of tar.gz instead of tar.tar...

What would cause my browser to download it in ASCII mode?

Any other ideas of what to do next?

Well, I downloaded it using the FTP protocol, too. But the 'make' command
still gave me the same results. I does appear that the problem is in fact
with the gzipped tar file. But I would LOVE to be proven otherwise, as I
really need to get this done tonight...

Any other ideas of what to do next?

Below is what happen on my cygwin environment.
You can do it by hand, to simulate "make all" and "make install".
That is, run the copy manually.


$ perl Makefile.PL

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Getopt::Long

$ make all
cp lib/Getopt/Long.pm blib/lib/Getopt/Long.pm
cp lib/newgetopt.pl blib/lib/newgetopt.pl
Manifying blib/man3/Getopt.Long.3

$ make install
