20 This module is the base class for all IO::Compress and IO::Uncompress
30 Before you can build IO::Compress::Base you need to have the following

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

97 b. The version of IO::Compress::Base you have.
98 If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Base, this one-liner

117 perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]'
119 If you are running windows use this
121 perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]"
