/usr/bin/tar: Archive value 88578 is out of uid_t range 0..65535

[Peter J. Acklam]

I use the cpan shell to install Perl modules, but I often get the
error messages like

   /usr/bin/tar: Archive value 88578 is out of uid_t range 0..65535

and tar ends with a non-zero exit status so the module won't
install.  How can I get around this?  Are there any plans of
supporting higher uids than 65535 in Cygwin?

whatsoever.  There ought to be a button matching my indifference.
