The Archive::Zip module allows a Perl program to create, manipulate,
read, and write Zip archive files.
Zip archives can be created, or you can read from existing zip
files. Once created, they can be written to files, streams, or
strings.
Members can be added, removed, extracted, replaced, rearranged, and
enumerated. They can also be renamed or have their dates, comments,
or other attributes queried or modified. Their data can be compressed
or uncompressed as needed. Members can be created from members in
existing Zip files, or from existing directories, files, or strings.
This module uses the Compress::Zlib library to read and write the
compressed streams inside the files.
See Archive::Zip::Tree for easy operations on directories full of
files, or on entire Zip files. This is included in the Archive::Zip
distribution.
A perl module for handling tar archives. Allows user to read a tar
archive manipulate it in memory by adding or removing files and
write it out to disk.
Also supports gzip/zlib compressed archives.
UCL is a portable lossless data compression library. It implements a
number of algorithms with the following features:
- Decompression is simple and *very* fast.
- Requires no memory for decompression.
- The decompressors can be squeezed into less than 200 bytes of code.
- Includes compression levels for generating pre-compressed
data which achieve an excellent compression ratio.
- Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the
compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
- Algorithm is thread safe.
- Algorithm is lossless.
- In-place decompression.

- Remove again extraneous documentation that is of no interest to
users of the compiled package.
- Prune inappropriate verbiage from description.
- Disallow CDROM distribution according to old description.
- Rename patches.
- General clean-up.
tar.gz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a
shell script, and can be launched as is. The archive will then
uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an arbitrary command
will be executed (for example, an installation script).
