26 This module provides a Perl interface to allow reading and writing of RFC
27 1950, 1951, 1952 (i.e. gzip) and zip files/buffers.
36 Before you can build IO::Compress::Zlib you need to have the following
37 installed on your system:
40 * Perl 5.004 or better.
51 Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built
52 using this sequence of commands:
63 To install IO::Compress::Zlib, run the command below:
82 The t/020isize Test Suite
83 ------------------------
85 This test suite checks that IO::Compress::Zlib can cope with gzip files
86 that are larger than 2^32 bytes.
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".
91 Be warned though -- this test suite can take hours to run on a slow box.
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.
103 How to report a problem with IO::Compress::Zlib.
105 To help me help you, I need all of the following information:
107 1. The Versions of everything relevant.
110 a. The *complete* output from running this
114 Do not edit the output in any way.
115 Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
117 If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
118 old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.
120 b. The version of IO::Compress::Zlib you have.
121 If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Zlib, this one-liner
124 perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]'
126 If you areplete* output from running this
130 Do not edit the output in any way.
131 Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
133 If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
134 old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.
136 b. The version of IO::Compress::Zlib you have.
137 If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Zlib, this one-liner
140 perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]'
142 If you are running windows use this
144 perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]"
146 If you haven't installed IO::Compress::Zlib then search IO::Compress::Zlib.pm
147 for a line like this:
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
157 [edit config.in, if necessary]
160 make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
