Description

I tried to run build-cpan-dist.sh to create a CPAN distribution, but it failed as follows:

thrift$ dockerrun thrift/thrift-build:ubuntu-xenial
root@c933c00aefca:/thrift/src# cd lib/perl
root@c933c00aefca:/thrift/src/lib/perl# ./build-cpan-dist.sh 

(snip)

+ tar cvzf --hard-dereference Thrift-0.14.0.tar.gz Thrift-0.14.0
tar: Thrift-0.14.0.tar.gz: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

(snip)

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
root@c933c00aefca:/thrift/src/lib/perl# echo $?
2

It seems that the --hard-dereference option is considered as a filename. Moving it after Thrift-0.14.0.tar.gz resolved the problem.
