Best compression for mod_perl application?

[Bill Marrs]

I used to use mod_gzip under Apache 1.3, and it worked great, saving my 
over 50% of my bandwidth for my mod_perl generated pages.

But, it appears that mod_gzip doesn't work with Apache 2.  Apache 2 has a 
built-in mod_deflate, but I've had some trouble with it (seemed to cause a 
load spike on my server + errors if I print "").

I recall there used to be alternatives to mod_gzip out there, but I'm not 
sure if they apply to Apache 2.

Are any of you use compression on your mod_perl pages?

Do you recommend any compression schemes for the Apache 2/mp2 environment?

TIA,
