After testing it for a while on a reasonably busy site I have made my first distro of Apache::Precompress. As this is my first distro for CPAN I would really appreciate some feedback on the distro files and the general make up of the whole thing.

I have to confess I was totally stuck for test scripts for this module so any thoughts and comments in this area would be particularly welcome.

After viewing the feedback from this I'll update the module and then upload it to CPAN. I don't have a perlmonk.org account so I've had to put the file on my own space.

Heres the link to the file.

I wrote some nodes in the past regarding this. Here they are (oldest first):
  1. RFC: Mod Perl compressed content
  2. Compressed content module
Thanks in advance for any/all help you may provide, especially in the testing and or the DirectoryIndex redirect area.
