Okay, I assume I am missing something if I run the following:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Archive::Tar;
use File::Find;
my @files;
my $pwd = 'C:\Source Code';
find(
    sub {
        if ( $File::Find::name !~ /\.svn/i)
        {
            push @files, $File::Find::name;
        }
    },
    $pwd
);
Archive::Tar->create_archive( 'Test.tbz', COMPRESS_BZIP, @files );

my $tar = Archive::Tar->new;
$tar->write('Test2.tbz', COMPRESS_BZIP);
$tar->add_files(@files);
[download]

The Test.tbz file is created fine with no issues and ends up about 92M.

But when it comes to the Test2.tbz file, I can watch it grow as it should but then before the $tar->add_files(@files); returns the output file shrinks and ends up only about 1k.

I can not figure out what is going wrong I have tried going through the Archive::Tar to try figuring out what I should be doing. But I am getting no where

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
