Gunzip(3pm)

🎀 NAME 🎀

XMLTV::Gunzip — bestie, it's literally just a wrapper around Compress::Zlib or gzip(1) 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole vibe, no cap:

use XMLTV::Gunzip;
my $decompressed = gunzip($gzdata);
my $fh = gunzip_open('file.gz') or die;
while (<$fh>) { print }

so like, here's the tea 🍓: if Compress::Zlib is installed, that's what gets used. If it's <em>not</em> installed? Then it just spawns an external gzip instead, periodt. 😌

gunzip() hands you back the decompressed data, and if something goes sideways it throws an exception (so like, be ready for that 💀). Meanwhile gunzip_open() gives you a filehandle, or undef if it's not giving. 🦋
