NAME POE::Filter::Zlib - A POE filter wrapped around Compress::Zlib VERSION version 2.04 SYNOPSIS use POE::Filter::Zlib; my $filter = POE::Filter::Zlib->new(); my $scalar = 'Blah Blah Blah'; my $compressed_array = $filter->put( [ $scalar ] ); my $uncompressed_array = $filter->get( $compressed_array ); use POE qw(Filter::Stackable Filter::Line Filter::Zlib); my ($filter) = POE::Filter::Stackable->new(); $filter->push( POE::Filter::Zlib->new(), POE::Filter::Line->new( InputRegexp => '\015?\012', OutputLiteral => "\015\012" ), DESCRIPTION POE::Filter::Zlib provides a POE filter for performing compression/uncompression using Compress::Zlib. It is suitable for use with POE::Filter::Stackable. This filter is not ideal for streaming compressed data over sockets etc. as it employs compress and uncompress zlib functions. POE::Filter::Zlib::Stream is recommended for that type of activity. CONSTRUCTOR new Creates a new POE::Filter::Zlib object. Takes one optional argument, 'level': the level of compression to employ. Consult Compress::Zlib for details. METHODS get get_one_start get_one Takes an arrayref which is contains lines of compressed input. Returns an arrayref of uncompressed lines. get_pending Returns any data in a filter's input buffer. The filter's input buffer is not cleared, however. put Takes an arrayref containing lines of uncompressed output, returns an arrayref of compressed lines. clone Makes a copy of the filter, and clears the copy's buffer. level Sets the level of compression employed to the given value. If no value is supplied, returns the current level setting.
