=head1 NAME
Compress::Raw::Bzip2::FAQ -- Frequently Asked Questions about Compress::Raw::Bzip2
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Common questions answered.
=head2 Compatibility with Unix compress/uncompress.
This module is not compatible with Unix C<compress>.
If you have the C<uncompress> program available, you can use this to read
compressed files
open F, "uncompress -c $filename |";
while (<F>)
{
...
Alternatively, if you have the C<gunzip> program available, you can use
this to read compressed files
open F, "gunzip -c $filename |";
while (<F>)
{
...
and this to write compress files, if you have the C<compress> program
available
open F, "| compress -c $filename ";
print F "data";
...
close F ;
=head2 Accessing .tar.Z files
See previous FAQ item.
If the C<Archive::Tar> module is installed and either the C<uncompress> or
C<gunzip> programs are available, you can use one of these workarounds to
read C<.tar.Z> files.
Firstly with C<uncompress>
use strict;
use warnings;
use Archive::Tar;
open F, "uncompress -c $filename |";
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new(*F);
...
and this with C<gunzip>
use strict;
use warnings;
use Archive::Tar;
open F, "gunzip -c $filename |";
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new(*F);
...
Similarly, if the C<compress> program is available, you can use this to
write a C<.tar.Z> file
use strict;
use warnings;
use Archive::Tar;
use IO::File;
my $fh = new IO::File "| compress -c >$filename";
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new();
...
$tar->write($fh);
$fh->close ;
