I've been sitting on a patch for Compress::Bzip2 for a while; I sent it to the maintainer (Marco Carnut, http://search.cpan.org/~kcarnut/) but he didn't reply. The patch:
- fixes a bug with compressing small strings (the allocated buffer is too small) - adds error reporting and checking - adds tests - adds an OO streaming interface - adds a 'version' method to get the bzip2 library version - cleans up the documentation - looks for libbz2, rather than hard-coding the location I can send the patch to this list if desired (it's about 9k gzipped), or go ahead and upload a new version to CPAN, although I don't want to tread on anyone's toes. If Marco can't be found I'd be willing to take over maintainership. -- Dave Isa. 40:31
