man Archive::Tar

'Isn't Archive::Tar heavier on memory than /bin/tar?
Yes it is, see previous answer. Since "Compress::Zlib" and 
therefore "IO::Zlib" doesn't support "seek" on their filehandles, there is 
little choice but to read the archive into memory. This is ok if you want to 
do in-memory manipulation of the archive.  If you just want to extract, use 
the "extract_archive" class method instead. It will optimize and write to 
disk immediately."'
