tarballs of the current ruleset when updating

Committed to rev #198!  Probably should add some data to the changelog?

• Changed state: Fixed

This feature generates an error for me as of r209:

   Bareword "COMPRESS_GZIP" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at
   /usr/local/sbin/pulledpork.pl line 1237.
   Execution of /usr/local/sbin/pulledpork.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

The line in question is:
   Archive::Tar->create_archive( $filename, COMPRESS_GZIP, @records );

I'm not sure whether the bareword in question (COMPRESS_GZIP) is supposed to be 
a string or something else, I didn't play with it since I'm not yet using the 
archive feature.  I just commented out the line in question for now.  You might 
want to have another look at this, though.

What distribution are you running on, this works on my FreeBSD 8.x i386 
systems.. but I may just define a constant (it's the right way to do it but I'm 
lazy)
