(CSS::Sass-3.4.11)Seems hang using cpan install under Strawberry Perl 5.26.0(32bit) on Windows 7.

Hi,

When I run cpan OCBNET/CSS-Sass-3.4.11.tar.gz, It looks like it hang up like this.

C:\home\bath>cpan OCBNET/CSS-Sass-3.4.11.tar.gz
CPAN: CPAN::SQLite loaded ok (v0.211)
Database was generated on Tue, 06 Feb 2018 12:33:57 GMT

CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.96)
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.074)
Checksum for C:\Strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\id\O\OC\OCBNET\CSS-Sass-3.4.11.tar.gz ok
CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v2.26)

I typed Ctrl + C

Out of memory! 
Terminate batch job? (Y/N)

[My workaround] I used cpanm instead of cpan.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your report, unfortunately this seems to be an upstream issue in Archive::Tar. I have created a Pull Request there to speed up the extraction: https://github.com/jib/archive-tar-new/pull/22

Another approach without CPANM would be to extract the tarball manually and call cpan . Interesting that this issue hasn't popped up earlier (will check some older perl versions now).

Under Strawberry Perl 5.26.1, it certainly was able to confirm that it can be installed with cpan . like this.

C:\home\bath1\CSS-Sass-3.4.11>cpan .

Thank you for Another approach information.

For now, Archive::Tar 2.30 seems good.

Seems fixed now with new Archive::Tar version!
