Archive::Tar - Packing a directory

[ofzer]

Hi .
Is there any way to add directory to a tar file.
Nowadays , it is only possible to : $tar->add_files("fil ename");
I would like to add directory as well.
Does anyone have any workaround or another idea how to achieve it ?

Greetings,

An easy solution would be to use Archive::Zip instead. It has a method specifically for adding a directory.

cpan Archive::Zip

I expect that it is most likely possible in Archive::Tar as well, but I'm more familiar with the zip package.

Good luck,
