Package cgi-compress-gzip-pm5100-1.03-1

CGI::Compress::Gzip extends the CGI infrastructure to compresses output, whenever possible. It uses IO::Zlib (a filehandle wrapper around the C zlib library). If this is missing, the functionality degrades gracefully to the typical CGI behavior. The programmer can selectively enable or disable the compression functionality at will. This module does not rely on any particular server setup. It should work anywhere that CGI.pm works. Apache mod_perl users may prefer the more straightforward implementation offered by the Apache::Compress or Apache::GzipChain modules, although those offer less control to the programmer.
