Your compressed file is broken.
Well...I managed to extract it after my ketiak berpeluh.
Ok, this what I did.
In the folder of extracted files you will see:
CODE
ls -la

Read the ReadMe....

1. Copy all the files in arch-updates to your home and change the folder name to scripts
CODE
cp -Rp arch-updates /home/`whoami`/scripts
2. Copy .conky.rc to your home
CODE
cp .conkyrc /home/`whoami`/
3. Copy all other conky files to your-home/scripts
CODE
cp .conkyrc_gmail /home/`whoami`/scripts/
cp .conkyweatherrc /home/`whoami`/scripts/
cp .gmail.py /home/`whoami`/scripts/
4. Edit .conkyrc
I remove email, mpd and weather parts as I'm not going to use it.
I also remove Arch-pkg since I'm using Debian.

CODE
open (MYINPUTFILE, "/home/user/scripts/updates.log") or die "No such file or directory: $!";
