🌻 📖 Alien::gzip

NAME

Alien::gzip - Find or build gzip

VERSION

version 0.07

SYNOPSIS

 use Alien::gzip;
 use Env qw( @PATH );
 
 # Add gzip to the path if it isn't there already
 push @PATH, Alien::gzip->bin_dir;

DESCRIPTION

Many environments provide the gzip command, but a few do not. Using this module in your Build.PL (or elsewhere) you can make sure that gzip will be available. If the system provides it, then great, this module is a no-op. If it does not, then it will download and install it into a private location so that it can be added to the PATH when this module is used.
