    I have added module and still no useable data 
    use CGI;
use Compress::Zlib;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
read (STDIN, $output, $ENV{"CONTENT_LENGTH"});
$PostRecords = uncompress($output) ;
print "MESSAGE was $PostRecords\n";
print "MESSAGE is on the MSMQ";

    am I missing something? any suggestions are greatly appreciated

      Don't you need 
      my $zip = param('zip');
$zip = uncompress($zip);

      Are you sure the data is gzipped? What happens if you save the input to a file and use file on it? What does it say? Can you uncompress it with gzip?

        saving to file and guunzip results in invalid format The actual java code sending the data looks like this 
        urlos = connection.getOutputStream();
if(compress)
{bufos = new BufferedOutputStream(new GZIPOutputStream(urlos));
            } else
            {
                bufos = new BufferedOutputStream(urlos);

        so I assume that the data is GZIP compressed before being sent by java app and the switch to not use compress was not coded so it is always compressed
