Has anyone ported the zlib compression routines to MacPerl? If you are wondering what they are, see http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/ I need to decompress "FlateEncode" objects within pdf files. After some research I learned that they are compressed with the zlib routines. A Perl module has been developed for Unix and Windows ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/Compress/ Getting this to work on the Mac is beyond my ability, so I was hoping that someone more capable had already done it.
