Looks like I misunderstood your mail, sorry about that.
Well, I started the port after your first mail, but now I am
stuck in a trouble and running out of time.
There remains "a problem with reading regular data and gzipped
data from the same filehandle" which was mentioned in Chris's
port. I followed with my debugger, but no good result.
Another problem is in gzreadline. It is described in the pod;
At this time gzreadline ignores the variable $/ ($INPUT_RECORD_
SEPARATOR or $RS when English is in use). The end of a line is
denoted by the C character '\n'.
and, It works like this in Chris's port, but not in my case. The
end of line has to be '\012' which is verry suffering on MacPerl.
I am missing something for sure, but time is up for a while.
I might be back on porting in a couple of days.
Thank you.
