A bit too late, but another option is to compress the input file using
gzip and then read it in a line at a time and decompress in-memory.
Then, write it out also in compressed format. I think one of the gzip
libraries such as:
http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/PerlIO-gzip-0.18/gzip.pm
might do the trick. Of course, the first gzip steps needs space to
output the file, so you may still run into the same problem. :-)
