Re: Creating an HTML file, then (g)zipping it up for a user to dl it?

Sort of depends on what you're trying to do. Save bandwidth? Or by "webpage" do you mean the document and all the accoutrements (images, etc.)? For smaller HTML documents there's not much point in compressing an archive containing your average images etc. since they are precompressed. Instead a tar file should be sufficient. If you have mod_perl running you might take a look at Apache::GzipChain for some ideas.
