Zlib compression question

[Shannon Murdoch]

Hi all,

I'm running a site with a lot of compressed text files containing data for
various clients.  Some of these files get appended to (lets say, a log file
perhaps).  Is there some prevision to the Compress:Zlib module that lets you
specify that you want to append to a file? (instead of needing to read the
entire file in, appending to the array or variable, then writing it back
again?)

The open(TAG,$filename); command has the >> part before the filename to
specify that  print OUTPUTFILE 's  are appended to the file only.

This is the method I'm using at the moment to read the file without
appendage:

use Compress::Zlib;

$fn = 'test.gz';


 my $outlog=gzopen($fn,"a");
 
$line='line number 234';

 $outlog->gzwrite($line."\n");

 $outlog->gzclose();

print "done.\n";
