I have a data source sending their data in RAR archives...

(I really want to rant at this point about standards, but I won't...)

I did some quick Googling and it appears that there's a Perl module to deal
with the rar file format, but wondering if any of the Linux distros have
something in a standard package that will "un-rar" things that I just
haven't stumbled across yet.

After that, still have to figure out if anything will do it elegantly on
Solaris 8 too.  ;-)
