This program is free software; you can redistribute it

DESCRIPTION
-----------

This distribution provides a Perl interface to allow reading and writing of
compressed data created with the zlib and bzip2.

IO-Compress supports reading and writing of the following compressed data formats
* bzip2
* RFC 1950
* RFC 1951
* RFC 1952 (i.e. gzip)
* zip

There are a number of companion modules for IO-Compress that extend
the suite of compression formats available.

* IO-Compress-Zstd
Adds support for zstd (Zstandard).
* IO-Compress-Lzma
Adds support for lzma, xz and lzip.
* IO-Compress-Lzf
Adds support for lzf.
* IO-Compress-Lzop
Adds support for lzop.

Note that the following modules used to be distributed separately, but are now
included with the IO-Compress distribution.

Compress-Zlib
IO-Compress-Zlib
IO-Compress-Bzip2
IO-Compress-Base

PREREQUISITES
-------------

Before you can build IO-Compress you need to have the following
installed on your system:

* Perl 5.006 or better.
* Compress::Raw::Zlib
* Compress::Raw::Bzip2

BUILDING THE MODULE
-------------------

Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built
using this sequence of commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test

INSTALLATION
------------

To install IO-Compress, run the command below:

make install

FEEDBACK
--------

How to report a problem with IO-Compress.

To help me help you, I need all of the following information:

1. The Versions of everything relevant.
This includes:

a. The *complete* output from running this

perl -V

Do not edit the output in any way.
Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".

If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.

b. The version of IO-Compress you have.
If you have successfully installed IO-Compress, this one-liner
will tell you:

perl -MIO::Compress::Gzip -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Gzip::VERSION\n]'

If you are running windows use this

perl -MIO::Compress::Gzip -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Gzip::VERSION\n]"

If you haven't installed IO-Compress then search IO::Compress::Gzip.pm
for a line like this:

$VERSION = "2.213" ;

2. If you are having problems building IO-Compress, send me a
complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO-Compress
module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps, including
the setting of configuration environment variables (if applicable).

[edit config.in or set environment varialbes, if necessary]
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
