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.
