15 This module provides a Perl interface to allow reading and writing of RFC
16 1950, 1951, 1952 (i.e. gzip) and zip files/buffers.
21 Before you can build IO-Compress-Zlib you need to have the following
22 installed on your system:
24 * Perl 5.004 or better.
31 Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built
32 using this sequence of commands:
41 To install IO-Compress-Zlib, run the command below:
48 The t/020isize Test Suite
49 ------------------------
51 This test suite checks that IO-Compress-Zlib can cope with gzip files
52 that are larger than 2^32 bytes.
54 By default these tests are NOT run when you do a "make test". If you
55 really want to run them, you need to execute "make longtest".
57 Be warned though -- this test suite can take hours to run on a slow box.
59 Also, due to the way the tests are constructed, some architectures will
60 run out of memory during this test. This should not be considered a bug
61 in the IO-Compress-Zlib module.
66 How to report a problem with IO-Compress-Zlib.
68 To help me help you, I need all of the following information:
70 1. The Versions of everything relevant.
73 a. The *complete* output from running this
77 Do not edit the output in any way.
78 Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
80 If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
81 old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.
83 b. The version of IO-Compress-Zlib you have.
84 If you have successfully installed IO-Compress-Zlib, this one-liner
87 perl -MIO::Compress::Gzip -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Gzip::VERSION\n]'
89 If you are running windows use this
91 perl -MIO::Compress::Gzip -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Gzip::VERSION\n]"
93 If you haven't installed IO-Compress-Zlib then search IO::Compress::Gzip.pm
98 2. If you are having problems building IO-Compress-Zlib, send me a
99 complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO-Compress-Zlib
100 module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps
102 [edit config.in, if necessary]
105 make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
