The Compress::Bzip2 module provides a Perl interface to the bzip2 compression library (see AUTHOR for details about where to get Bzip2). A relevant subset of the functionality provided by bzip2 is available in Compress::Bzip2.
All string parameters can either be a scalar or a scalar reference.
The module can be split into two general areas of functionality, namely in-memory compression/decompression and read/write access to bzip2 files. Each of these areas will be discussed separately below.
NOTE
Compress::Bzip2 is just a simple bzip2 binding, comparable to the old Compress::Zlib library. It is not well integrated into PerlIO, use the preferred IO::Compress::Bzip2 instead.
