how to get perl to untar a tar.gz to a different directory

Hello

I am running gunzip.exe and tar.exe for DOS...with perl commands,
Gunzip let's me unzip the tar to a different directory as follows:

system("gunzip c:\\temp2\\$filelistarray[$u]");
system("tar -xvf c:\\temp2\\$filelistarray[$u]");

BUT how do I untar AND gunzip out to a different directory ?? If I
cant, what can I do from the command line in DOS ?? WINZIP command
line add on of course doesnt support this capability..I find after
buying..
I realize this is the PERL forum but I figured since I post here a lot
the folks would know this..

Thanks,
Jack
