The Compress::Zlib module provides a Perl interface to the
zlib compression library (see the AUTHORS entry elsewhere
in this documentfor details about where to get zlib). Most
of the functionality provided by zlib is available in
Compress::Zlib.
The module can be split into two general areas of
functionality, namely in-memory compression/decompression
and read/write access to gzip files. Each of these areas
will be discussed separately below.
WARNING: The interface defined in this document is alpha
and is liable to change.
