Actually this should have done what you (and we) expected it to do, but when you insist in naming a gzipped tar-file "*.tar" the OS will not put any obstacles before you.
This means: replace "> something.tar" with "something.tar.gz" and - voilá!
You will find out that the output you named ".tar" is no tar file at all when you try to untar it. It probably will complain about some "checksum error", which is, because it simply is no tar-file. But if you try to unpack it by:
You will notice that this works. (gzip is just a bit picky about file extensions)

CPAN::Perl::Releases(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CPAN::Perl::Releases(3pm)NAME
CPAN::Perl::Releases - Mapping Perl releases on CPAN to the location of the tarballs
VERSION
version 0.60
SYNOPSIS
use CPAN::Perl::Releases qw[perl_tarballs];
my $perl = '5.14.0';
my $hashref = perl_tarballs( $perl );
print "Location: ", $_, "
" for values %{ $hashref };
DESCRIPTION
CPAN::Perl::Releases is a module that contains the mappings of all "perl" releases that have been uploaded to CPAN to the "authors/id/"
path that the tarballs reside in.
This is static data, but newer versions of this module will be made available as new releases of "perl" are uploaded to CPAN.
FUNCTIONS
"perl_tarballs"
Takes one parameter, a "perl" version to search for. Returns an hashref on success or "undef" otherwise.
The returned hashref will have a key/value for each type of tarball. A key of "tar.gz" indicates the location of a gzipped tar file and
"tar.bz2" of a bzip2'd tar file. The values will be the relative path under "authors/id/" on CPAN where the indicated tarball will be
located.
perl_tarballs( '5.14.0' );
Returns a hashref like:
{
"tar.bz2" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.bz2",
"tar.gz" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.gz"
}
Not all "perl" releases had "tar.bz2", but only a "tar.gz".
