modules for untaring and unzipping

I'm downloading lots of files using the Net::FTP module. The files
are tared and zipped, of the usual kind like
*.tar.gz

Now in my Perl program I want to unzip and untar those files.

Would you have any recommendations for Perl modules to help with that?

(P.S.: I didn't post my question on this list lightly. Believe me, I
searched Usenet, CPAN and Google for 'perl untar' or 'perl unzip', but
unfortunately that seemed futile as it yielded thousands of irrelevant
messages of the kind "untar and unzip your package")

Thanks for any help and advice.
