 Software Version Description

 for

 Tie::Gzip - gzip and gunzip with a small memory footprint

 Revision: A

 Version: 0.03

 Date: 2004/04/02

 Prepared for: General Public 

 Prepared by:  SoftwareDiamonds.com E<lt>support@SoftwareDiamonds.comE<gt>

 Copyright: copyright © 2003 Software Diamonds

 Classification: NONE

=head1 1.0 SCOPE

This paragraph identifies and provides an overview
of the released files.

=head2 1.1 Identification

This release,
identified in L<3.2|/3.2 Inventory of software contents>,
is a collection of Perl modules that
extend the capabilities of the Perl language.

=head2 1.2 System overview

The 'Tie::Gzip' module provides a file handle Tie 
for compressing and uncompressing files using
the gzip format.

By tieing a filehandle to 'Tie::Gzip' subsequent uses
of the file subroutines with the tied filehandle will
compress data written to an opened file using gzip compression
and decompress data read from an opened file using gzip
compression.

If the 'Tie::Gzip' tie receives a I<filename> or I<mode filename>
after completing the tie, 'Tie::Gzip' will open I<filename>.

During the tie, Tie::Gzip will first try to load the
'Compress::Zlib' module and package. 
If successful, 'Tie::Gzip' uses the 'Compress::Zlib' for
compressing and decompressing the file data.

If unsuccessful, 'Tie::Gzip' setups up the following pipes
to an anticipated GNU 'gzip' site command for compressing and
decompressing the file data:

 gzip --decompress --stdout {} | # read file data
 | gzip --stdout > {} # write file data

where the string '{}' is a placeholder for the I<filename>.

=head2 1.3 Document overview.

This document releases Tie::Gzip version 0.03
providing a description of the inventory, installation
instructions and other information necessary to
utilize and track this release.

Installed Mark Scarton's
engineering change request per below e-mail:

From: Mark.Scarton@FranklinCovey.com 
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 17:23:37 -0700 

In the 'lib/Tie/Gzip.pm' module of the Tie-Gzip-0.01 package,
the open of the pipe ("gzip --decompress --stdout |") is
failing due to the reference to $! in the conditional.
As a test, I cleared $! before issuing the open call as follows:

 Line 124:

             ###############
             # Some perls will return a glob and a warning
             # for certain pipe errors such as the command
             # not a recognized command
             #
             $! = 0;    ### MAS ###
             my $success = open PIPE, $pipe;
             if($! || !$success) {
                 warn "Could not pipe $pipe: $!\n";
                 $self->CLOSE;
                 return undef;
             }

 Line 167:

             ###############
             # Some perls will return a glob and a warning
             # for certain pipe errors such as the command
             # not a recognized command
             #
             $! = 0;    ### MAS ###
             my $success = open PIPE, $pipe;
             if($! || !$success) {
                 warn "Could not pipe $pipe: $!\n";
                 $self->CLOSE;
                 return undef;
             }

This works. Prior to making this change, test 6 of Gzip.t would fail.

According to the Learning Perl O'Reilly book, 

"But if you use die to indicate an error that is not the failure of a
system request, don't include $!, since it will generally hold
an unrelated message left over from something Perl did internally.
It will hold a useful value only immediately after a failed system request.
A successful request won't leave anything useful there."

So $! is only sourced when a system error occurs and it is not cleared prior
to the call. If no error occurs, the value is indeterminate.
