Ok, I looked a the post you pointed me to and I was able to get pax to work, but I didn't realize that pax works with .tar files but not .tgz files. When I first tried it on my .tgz file it gave all kinds of errors so I initially didn't think pax would be able to help me.
So I had to do a gunzip of my .tgz file.
I did the command: gunzip x.tgz
which replaced the file x.tgz with x.tar
The file I wanted to extract from the tar file was in path repository/parts/RDAP.tgz.
I did the following command:
this -s option allowed me to subtitute the path repository/parts/ with nothing. The file extracted to my current directory which is exactly what I wanted. Note that \/ is an escape sequence or /.
I am posting this in case someone else is looking to do the same thing.
During tar, the command used is
tar cvf - * | remsh system_name dd of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=10k
To untar all, we used
remsh system_name "dd if=/dev/rmt/0m ibs=10k" | tar xvf -
Question?

dist::zilla::app::command::build
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build(3pm)NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build - build your dist
VERSION
version 4.300020
SYNOPSIS
dzil build [ --trial ] [ --tgz | --no-tgz ] [ --in /path/to/build/dir ]
DESCRIPTION
This command is a very thin layer over the Dist::Zilla "build" method, which does all the things required to build your distribution. By
default, it will also archive your distribution and leave you with a complete, ready-to-release distribution tarball.
EXAMPLE
$ dzil build
$ dzil build --no-tgz
$ dzil build --in /path/to/build/dir
OPTIONS --trial
This will build a trial distribution. Among other things, it will generally mean that the built tarball's basename ends in -TRIAL.
--tgz | --no-tgz
Builds a .tar.gz in your project directory after building the distribution.
--tgz behaviour is by default, use --no-tgz to disable building an archive.
--in
Specifies the directory into which the distribution should be built. If necessary, the directory will be created. An archive will not be
created.
