I'm trying to find a way to compress large text strings (genomes) for storing in a database. I'd really prefer to avoid using temp files if possible. Not so much for loading the data, but I'm hoping to use the same methodology on the occasion I need to decompress and use that data.
I searched CPAN but didn't find anything that appeared to provide that functionality. I've also struggled with opening a pipe to gzip; it compresses fine but I haven't figured out a way to capture gzips output, which it forces to my terminal. Anyone have a solution they would like to suggest? TIA! -- Sean Quinlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
