Perl-LZO -- Perl bindings for LZO Copyright (c) 1996-2002 Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/ What is LZO ? ============= LZO is a portable lossless data compression library written in ANSI C. It offers pretty fast compression and *very* fast decompression. Decompression requires no memory. In addition there are slower compression levels achieving a quite competitive compression ratio while still decompressing at this very high speed. What is Perl ? ============== Perl is an interpreted programming language optimized for scanning text and useful for many system management tasks. To find out more, point your browser to http://www.perl.org/ . What is Perl-LZO ? ================== Perl-LZO provides LZO bindings for Perl, i.e. you can access the LZO library from your Perl scripts thereby compressing ordinary Perl strings. Where's the documentation ? =========================== Have a look at the generated manpage `Compress::LZO.3pm'. Additionally you should read the docs and study the example programs that ship with the LZO library. Really.
