20 This module provides a Perl interface to allow reading and writing of RFC
21 1950, 1951, 1952 (i.e. gzip) and zip files/buffers.
30 Before you can build IO::Compress::Zlib you need to have the following
31 installed on your system:
34 * Perl 5.004 or better.
45 Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built
46 using this sequence of commands:
57 To install IO::Compress::Zlib, run the command below:
76 The t/020isize Test Suite
77 ------------------------
79 This test suite checks that IO::Compress::Zlib can cope with gzip files
80 that are larger than 2^32 bytes.
82 By default these test are NOT run when you do a "make test". If you
83 really want to run them, you need to execute "make longtest".
85 Be warned though -- this test suite can take hours to run on a slow box.
87 Also, due to the way the tests are constructed, some architectures will
88 run out of memory during this test. This should not be considered a bug
89 in the IO::Compress::Zlib module.
97 How to report a problem with IO::Compress::Zlib.
99 To help me help you, I need all of the following information:
101 1. The Versions of everything relevant.
104 a. The *complete* output from running this
108 Do not edit the output in any way.
109 Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
111 If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
112 old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.
114 b. The version of IO::Compress::Zlib you have.
115 If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Zlib, this one-liner
118 perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]'
120 If you areplete* output from running this
124 Do not edit the output in any way.
125 Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
127 If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
128 old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.
130 b. The version of IO::Compress::Zlib you have.
131 If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Zlib, this one-liner
134 perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]'
136 If you are running windows use this
138 perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]"
140 If you haven't installed IO::Compress::Zlib then search IO::Compress::Zlib.pm
141 for a line like this:
147 2. If you are having problems building IO::Compress::Zlib, send me a
148 complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO::Compress::Zlib
149 module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps
151 [edit config.in, if necessary]
154 make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
