✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet IO::Compress — the manual page is IO::Compress(3pm), and it lives in the Perl Programmers Reference Guide. Its whole name/one-liner vibe is:

IO::Compress — read/write compressed data in multiple formats

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the tea: this is a stub module. It contains no code.

That’s it. That’s the whole module. Not me expecting a whole compression era and getting a placeholder 😭. It’s giving “I’m just here to hold the name down,” and honestly? Main character energy. But fr fr, no code in here.
