Hi to all the perl gurus and wonderful people in this list. I am on a very slow internet connection. (56kbps) My problem is I have to routinely upload a 20meg text file to my webhost. It usually takes 1 and a half hours to do so. Is there a perl module that can compress the text file to say around 2 meg and uncompress it at the server so that I don't have to waste that much time uploading it?
I'm running activeperl 5.6 on a win2k. Thanks in advance! Zhe PS: please excuse my english.
