From: #832 The problem occurs where perlbrew acts on a downloaded perl archive, using gnu tar to expand it. Gnu tar must not be used on a filename that is absolute, on cygwin or MSWindows, because it misunderstands the C: as referring to a remote tape drive or similar device. The flag --force-local must be used or tar dies with an error. While I would very much like to see someone setup their C:\ being a tape drive, that would have to be the topic for those retro-PC youtubers, no perlbrew.
