How about:

Given that gzip/pkzip/zip can all speak single-archive
files together, we could use something like gzip/pkzip
on a single file. We already have a decent MIME module
that would work for combining multiple files. What about
basically treating however many files as an "attachment"
using standard Mime::Lite and having the perly part just
*zip + Base64 the input, reversing it on the way out?
