module. Just gzip it and put it on whatever distribution site you choose (which may or may not be CPAN) and then users will decompress before installation.
Why not just keep the file gzipped and use IO::Zlib to read it at run time? The speed difference will probably not even be noticeable.
Because not everybody has IO::Zlib available to them on the platform they're targeting. But pretty much everyone can decompress a file once using WinZip or another machine or whatever.
