bundle of IO::Compress modules

This package contains the following IO::Compress and IO::Uncompress modules:

 - Compress::Zlib
 - IO::Compress::Base
 - IO::Compress::Bzip2
 - IO::Compress::Deflate
 - IO::Compress::Gzip
 - IO::Compress::RawDeflate
 - IO::Compress::Zip
 - IO::Uncompress::Base
 - IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2
 - IO::Uncompress::Gunzip
 - IO::Uncompress::Inflate
 - IO::Uncompress::RawInflate
 - IO::Uncompress::Unzip

Compress::Zlib is a Perl external module which provides an interface to the info-zip zlib compression library. zlib is a general purpose compression library.

Some of the features provided by Compress::Zlib include:

   * in-memory compression and decompression
   * read and write gzip (.gz) files directly.

IO::Compress::Bunzip2 and IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2 provide a Perl interface that allows transparent reading and writing bzip2 compressed data to files or buffers.

IO::Compress::Base is the base class for all IO::Compress and IO::Uncompress modules. It is not intended for direct use in application code. Its sole purpose is to be sub-classed by IO::Compress modules.
