in the standard Perl libraries you have IO::Uncompress::Gunzip which should do exactly what you require, I believe. http://perldoc.perl.org/IO/Uncompress/Gunzip.html I just checked and it's even in perl 5.10 (a centos 6), and it certainly is in perl 5.20. There is an examples section that should get you up and running in no time. Having said that, I have shelled out to calling the system gunzip in cases like this (I was using linux, so that was installed by default; I see you are using Windows, there you could install 7-zip which understands gzip or you could download the windows port of the unix powertools like grep, sed, gzip and gunzip among a lot of others).
