Hi,
        I'm new to perl, I'm trying to write a pl script that would open a gzipped txt 
file. Is there any functions where I can call for this. I've tried the followings:

method #1       open(IN, "gunzip -c data.gz") || die "cannot open input data file";

method #2       pass the filename as ARGV and execute the script as $perl test.pl 
'gunzip -c data.gz'

they both failed! any ideas
thanks
Carlton Lo
