Find or build gzip
use Alien::gzip;
use Env qw( @PATH );
# Add gzip to the path if it isn't there already
push @PATH, Alien::gzip->bin_dir;
Many environments provide the gzip command, but a few do not.
Using this module in your Build.PL
(or elsewhere) you can
make sure that gzip will be available. If the system provides
it, then great, this module is a no-op. If it does not, then
it will download and install it into a private location so that
it can be added to the PATH
when this module is used.
