| 22 | DESCRIPTION |
| 23 | ----------- |

26 | This module provides a Perl interface to allow reading and writing of RFC |
| 25f0751f |
27 | 1950, 1951, 1952 (i.e. gzip) and zip files/buffers. |

| 33 | PREREQUISITES |
| 34 | ------------- |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Before you can build IO::Compress::Zlib you need to have the following |
| 37 | installed on your system: |
| 38 | |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * Perl 5.004 or better. |
| 41 | * Compress::Raw::Zlib |
| 42 | * IO::Compress::Base |
| 43 | |
| 44 | |
| 45 | |
| 46 | |
| 47 | |
| 48 | BUILDING THE MODULE |
| 49 | ------------------- |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built |
| 52 | using this sequence of commands: |
| 53 | |
| 54 | perl Makefile.PL |
| 55 | make |
| 56 | make test |
| 57 | |
| 58 | |
| 59 | |
| 60 | INSTALLATION |
| 61 | ------------ |
| 62 | |
| 63 | To install IO::Compress::Zlib, run the command below: |
| 64 | |
| 65 | make install |
| 66 | |
| 67 | |
| 68 | |
| 69 | |

82 | The t/020isize Test Suite |
| 25f0751f |
83 | ------------------------ |
| 84 | |
| 85 | This test suite checks that IO::Compress::Zlib can cope with gzip files |
| 86 | that are larger than 2^32 bytes. |
| 87 | |
| 88 | By default these test are NOT run when you do a "make test". If you |
| 89 | really want to run them, you need to execute "make longtest". |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Be warned though -- this test suite can take hours to run on a slow box. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | Also, due to the way the tests are constructed, some architectures will |
| 94 | run out of memory during this test. This should not be considered a bug |
| 95 | in the IO::Compress::Zlib module. |

| 100 | FEEDBACK |
| 101 | -------- |
| 102 | |
| 103 | How to report a problem with IO::Compress::Zlib. |
| 104 | |
| 105 | To help me help you, I need all of the following information: |
| 106 | |
| 107 | 1. The Versions of everything relevant. |
| 108 | This includes: |
| 109 | |
| 110 | a. The *complete* output from running this |
| 111 | |
| 112 | perl -V |
| 113 | |
| 114 | Do not edit the output in any way. |
| 115 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". |
| 116 | |
| 117 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too |
| 118 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | b. The version of IO::Compress::Zlib you have. |
| 121 | If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Zlib, this one-liner |
| 122 | will tell you: |
| 123 | |
| 124 | perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]' |
| 125 | |
| 126 | If you areplete* output from running this |
| 127 | |
| 128 | perl -V |
| 129 | |
| 130 | Do not edit the output in any way. |
| 131 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". |
| 132 | |
| 133 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too |
| 134 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. |
| 135 | |
| 136 | b. The version of IO::Compress::Zlib you have. |
| 137 | If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Zlib, this one-liner |
| 138 | will tell you: |
| 139 | |
| 140 | perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]' |
| 141 | |
| 142 | If you are running windows use this |
| 143 | |
| 144 | perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]" |
| 145 | |
| 146 | If you haven't installed IO::Compress::Zlib then search IO::Compress::Zlib.pm |
| 147 | for a line like this: |
| 148 | |
| 149 | $VERSION = "1.05" ; |
| 150 | |
| 151 | |
| 152 | |
| 153 | 2. If you are having problems building IO::Compress::Zlib, send me a |
| 154 | complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO::Compress::Zlib |
| 155 | module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps |
| 156 | |
| 157 | [edit config.in, if necessary] |
| 158 | perl Makefile.PL |
| 159 | make |
| 160 | make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 |
| 161 | |
