+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+
+This module provides a Perl interface to allow reading and writing of RFC
+1950, 1951, 1952 (i.e. gzip) and zip files/buffers.
+
+
+
+
+
+PREREQUISITES
+-------------
+
+Before you can build IO::Compress::Zlib you need to have the following
+installed on your system:
+
+
+    * Perl 5.004 or better. 
+    * Compress::Raw::Zlib
+    * IO::Compress::Base
+
+
+
+
+
+BUILDING THE MODULE
+-------------------
+
+Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built
+using this sequence of commands:
+
+    perl Makefile.PL
+    make
+    make test
+
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+To install IO::Compress::Zlib, run the command below:
+
+    make install
+
+
+
+
+
+TROUBLESHOOTING
+---------------
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+The t/020isize Test Suite
+------------------------
+
+This test suite checks that IO::Compress::Zlib can cope with gzip files
+that are larger than 2^32 bytes.
+
+By default these test are NOT run when you do a "make test". If you
+really want to run them, you need to execute "make longtest".
+
+Be warned though -- this test suite can take hours to run on a slow box.
+
+Also, due to the way the tests are constructed, some architectures will
+run out of memory during this test. This should not be considered a bug
+in the IO::Compress::Zlib module.
+
+
+
+
+FEEDBACK
+--------
+
+How to report a problem with IO::Compress::Zlib.
+
+To help me help you, I need all of the following information:
+
+ 1. The Versions of everything relevant.
+    This includes:
+
+     a. The *complete* output from running this
+     
+            perl -V
+     
+        Do not edit the output in any way.
+        Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
+     
+        If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
+        old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.     
+
+     b. The version of IO::Compress::Zlib you have. 
+        If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Zlib, this one-liner
+        will tell you:
+
+           perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]'
+
+        If you areplete* output from running this
+     
+            perl -V
+     
+        Do not edit the output in any way.
+        Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v".
+     
+        If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too
+        old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better.     
+
+     b. The version of IO::Compress::Zlib you have. 
+        If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Zlib, this one-liner
+        will tell you:
+
+           perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]'
+
+        If you are  running windows use this
+
+           perl -MIO::Compress::Zlib -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Zlib::VERSION\n]"
+
+        If you haven't installed IO::Compress::Zlib then search IO::Compress::Zlib.pm
+        for a line like this:
+
+          $VERSION = "1.05" ;
+
+
+
+ 2. If you are having problems building IO::Compress::Zlib, send me a
+    complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO::Compress::Zlib
+    module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps
+
+        [edit config.in, if necessary]
+        perl Makefile.PL
+        make
+        make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
