I was about to install PerlIO::gzip when I encountered this in the README:
**DON'T** trust it with your data.
The data isn't critical - I'm parsing mail logs - but should be accurate.
Tie::Gzip has the disadvantage of not warning doom, and has a few
interesting features.
I'm curious whether there are strong feelings either way, and whether
Nicholas' warning is akin to someone saying, "Here's a chef's knife.
Don't slice off your hand."
