The Incredible Journey

I've turned the libdeflate compression library into a CPAN module:

Gzip::Libdeflate

This is the gzip compression method, but updated.

It's supposed to be much faster and better than libz (the original gzip library).

Sometimes I am getting compression of as much as 30% better on some files.

So far I haven't tested whether or not it is faster.

See the module above for links to the original library and so on.

Since this is an early release, it's very likely indeed that bugs in the module are my fault rather than any problem with libdeflate, so please report them to me.
