You can open pipes in perl. So something like

open(FILE, "wget myurl | gunzip -c|") or die "a most painful death\n";
while($l = <FILE>){
   ...
}

should work.

I have a gzipped text file on a web server. Using another machine, how
can I open that text file and read it line by line with Perl? SSH is
not an option - it has to be over http.
