Description : CGI with automatically compressed output
CGI::Compress::Gzip extends the CGI module to auto-detect whether the
client browser wants compressed output and, if so and if the script
chooses HTML output, apply gzip compression on any content header for
STDOUT. CGI::Compress::Gzip is intended to be a drop-in replacement for
CGI.pm.
Apache mod_perl users may wish to consider the Apache::Compress or
Apache::GzipChain modules, which allow more transparent output
compression than this module can provide. However, as of this writing
those modules are more aggressive about compressing, regardless of
Content-Type.
