The fix to Item1782 is not correct.

The code tests the result of eval "require [some module]". It then tests $@ to see if the require works, Perl documentation states for eval that If there was no error, $@ is guaranteed to be a null string. Null is false, so this test is incorrect. However on most platforms, tar or unzip are available, masking the failure.

    eval 'require Archive::Zip';
    if ($@) {
        my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();

...

    eval 'require Archive::Tar';
    if ($@) {
        my $tar = Archive::Tar->new();
...

This seems fixed.
