You seem to have a newer tar, that has compression and allows '-' arguments, but there are some really old ones out there that do not behave as normally or nice.
I gzipped the files after.
tar and cpio were standardized at the same time. You might also find it illuminating that POSIX-2001 restandardized the tar format in a backwards-compatible way to support files >8GB, but cpio couldn't be adapted -- they
removed it from POSIX instead. It's gone.
In short -- tar won, cpio lost. On many of my systems it didn't even come with the base OS!

Preaching to the choir, my friend.
My personal bugbear is solaris /bin/sh...

Also tar does not have a linking to original, not copying, option like cpio pass and cp, since when space was a concern and overwrite was not, the object was to create a clone tree of hard links?
This is true. tar and cpio are not totally equivalent in functionality.

dist::zilla::plugin::templatemodule
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::TemplateModule(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Zilla::Plugin::TemplateModule(3pm)
NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::TemplateModule - a simple module-from-template plugin
VERSION
version 4.300020
DESCRIPTION
This is a ModuleMaker used for creating new Perl modules files when minting a new dist with "dzil new". It uses Text::Template (via
Dist::Zilla::Role::TextTemplate) to render a template into a Perl module. The template is given two variables for use in rendering: $name,
the module name; and $dist, the Dist::Zilla object. The module is always created as a file under ./lib.
By default, the template looks something like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
package {{ $name }};
1;
ATTRIBUTES
template
The "template" parameter may be given to the plugin to provide a different filename, absolute or relative to the build/profile directory.
If this parameter is not specified, this module will use the boilerplate module template included in this module.
MINTING CONFIGURATION
This module is part of the standard configuration of the default Dist::Zilla Minting Profile, and all profiles that don't set a custom
':DefaultModuleMaker' so you don't need to normally do anything to configure it.
dzil new Some::Module
# creates ./Some-Module/*
# creates ./Some-Module/lib/Some/Module.pm
However, for those who wish to configure this ( or any subclasses ) this is presently required:
[TemplateModule / :DefaultModuleMaker]
; template = SomeFile.pm
