Ignoring arguing about gun control in a thread where the poster wants to know how to load bullets. Let me continue with civil monastery behavior instead of berating. To decompress a HTTP body of gzip content, I suggest you to try 
$zlib = new Compress::Raw::Zlib::Inflate( -WindowBits => WANT_GZIP, -C
+onsumeInput => 1 );
#LATER
sub onData {
     my ($comp_in, $output, $status) = $_[0];
     $status = $zlib->inflateReset() if $zlib->status() == Z_STREAM_EN
+D;
     die "failed" if $status != Z_OK;
     $status = $zlib->inflate($comp_in, $output);
     die "failed" if $status != Z_OK && $status != Z_STREAM_END ;
     print $output;
}

Of interest to you, may I suggest using Accept-Encoding, to disable gzip encoding on the HTTP compliant server? Although I must advise, for a bot, as you are writing, it is a poor use of your broadband connection, to transfer uncompressed data over it. It shall reduce the throughput and increase latency of your bot. I also suggest for you to research HEAD verb, to further reduce your bot's burden on the server and make greater economical use of your link and your processor.
