I might be misunderstanding something, but can't you just tell your  
web server to compress the data after it has been generated by your  
CGI script? For instance, on Apache, you can use the mod_deflate  
module [1] to set up Apache to compress the response to the browser  
for certain media types (but only, as Tobias has pointed out, when the  
browsers signals its ability to interpret compressed output using the  
"Accept-Encoding" HTTP header).

Wiser folk than me have suggested: use CGI or die; [2] :-P

cheers,
Gaurav
