LZO is a portable lossless data compression library written in ANSI C. It offers pretty fast compression and very fast decompression. Decompression requires no memory.
In addition there are slower compression levels achieving a quite competitive compression ratio while still decompressing at this very high speed.
Perl is an interpreted programming language optimized for scanning text and useful for many system management tasks. To find out more, point your browser to http://www.perl.org/ .
Perl-LZO provides LZO bindings for Perl, i.e. you can access the LZO library from your Perl scripts thereby compressing ordinary Perl strings.
Have a look at the generated manpage `Compress::LZO.3pm'.
Additionally you should read the docs and study the example programs that ship with the LZO library. Really.
