I have the PerlIO::gzip module installed, and I've tried using it. However, there's more to the puzzle than just using that module.

When I look at these packets in Wireshark, a packet can be viewed in three different forms: (1) full frame, with the binary data intact and still encoded; (2) "De-chunked entity body", which exhibits the majority of the binary data intact -- but which has removed the "chunked encapsulation" (for lack of a better term); and (3) "Uncompressed entity body", which shows no binary data, just the decoded HTML text.

This leads me to believe that there is some intermediate step that is required to remove the "chunked encapsulation", before being able to hand the "clean" compressed data to PerlIO::gzip as a stream for decompression.
