Ton Hospel has written a pure perl implementation of gunzip. (no mean feat) Autrijus sent to the PAR list and asked if anyone could refactor it to emulate Compress::Zlib's interface sufficiently to allow Archive::Zip (and therefore PAR) to work with it (to unpack zip files). It seems that the only 2 functions from Compress::Zlib's API actually need implementing - inflateInit and inflate.
I'm partway through this, and I'm wondering what the name should be. Autrijus suggested Compress::Zlib::PurePerl, which I think is reasonable. Are there further suggestions? Nicholas Clark
