Re: What's the best way to compress a scalar?

Other possibilities are Compress::Zlib and it's OO wrapper IO::Zlib or, for better but slower compression, Compress::Bzip2.

Zlib will be in perl' s CORE with the next stable release: `C:\>corelist -a Compress::Zlib Compress::Zlib was first released with perl 5.009003 5.009003 2.000_07 5.009004 2.000_13` [download] Also ActiveState is bundling it with ActivePerl for years and I think that it is and will be better supported than any other Compres::* module :)	[reply] [d/l]
