there's mod_gzip, available from
http://www.remotecommunications.com/apache/mod_gzip/
which I've played with and looks pretty good
or Apache::Compress, available from CPAN, which also works rather nicely
(and is Apache::Filter ready, so you can chain PerlHandlers into it)
just beware that not all browsers that claim to accept gzip compression
actually do...
