The latest release cannot be extracted with the --same-owner option

[Iksas]

Expected behavior:

The release tarball can be extracted with the --same-owner option. This works fine in release PPI-1.278:

wget https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/O/OA/OALDERS/PPI-1.278.tar.gz
gzip -dk PPI-1.278.tar.gz
tar --same-owner -xvf PPI-1.278.tar

However, in release PPI-1.279, the following steps fail:

wget http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/M/MI/MITHALDU/PPI-1.279.tar.gz
gzip -dk PPI-1.279.tar.gz
tar --same-owner -xvf PPI-1.279.tar

Here's a sample of the resulting errors:

tar --same-owner -xvf PPI-1.279.tar

This leads to problems when pulling certain docker images with podman, as described in https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-smokeping/issues/181.
