I tried it in Fedora 23. If tar is installed and perl-Archive-Tar is not
installed, Archive::Extract works for me. But it still warns "You do not have
'Archive::Tar' installed".

Yes, its funny module. Archive::Tar itself states that /usr/bin/tar is faster,
so people concern about performance should use that.

Due to the warning I will set dependency on perl(Archive::Tar) unconditionally.
