Try using tar xzvf <nameofile.tar.gz>

Hey Hey,
everyone's given you ways of opening it.... the .gz extension means that it's gunzipped or gzipped... (uniz programs = gzip and gunzip)... Generally you'll see .tar.gz as tar will only archive files (not compress them... Tape Archive) and Gunzip will only compress a single file... so they work well together..
Gunzip does have one nice feature.... You can reduce the amount of bandwidth consumed by visitors to your website... and companies can use it to offer "High Speed Dial-Up"
Check out the following links...

Browse to them in your browser... You'll see them as if they were a txt, an html and a gif... but if you wget them you'll get the compressed files...
Peace,

Hey, AmRocker1, I think Agent_Steal has the links you need. 7-Zip is pretty good, and WinZip is available for a 30-day evaluation. Either will get the files uncompressed. If you are trying to get the Perl package, and you are using Windows, you want to get the .msi package instead.

Maybe he is trying to run perl scripts ??? But is not able because he doesn't have the compiler installed ... Correct me if I am wrong ...

WinZip is ok, but i suggest WinRar. its a lot nicer of a program in my opinion and it doesn't have any sort of trial only version. Plus it seems that WinZip doesn't read WinRar zipped files, but WinRar can read WinZip files. SO you can effectively "double zip" a file by zipping it with WinRar and then zipping that zipped file with WinZip. Of course the usefullness of this really only becomes measureable with large files to begin with.
