Uncompress Gzip File From WWW::Mechanize

[Anonymous Monk]

I have a gzipped csv file that that was downloaded using WWW::Mechanzie, it can be retrieved by doing:

my $gzipped_csv_file = $mech->content;

How can I unzip the $gzipped_csv_file and store it in $gunzipped without writing to disk?
I don't care about any buffering because it's not a large file.

my $gzipped_csv_file = $mech->content;

# uncompress gzip here
# store uncompressed file in $gunzipped here

my @file = split "\n", $gunzipped;

Compress::Zlib makes it easy to do in-memory decompression:

use Compress::Zlib qw( uncompress );
my $data = uncompress( $mech->content )
    or die "Error decompressing content"
my @file = split( "\n", $data );

Presumably you specified (via default_header()) the request header, 'Accept-Encoding' => 'gzip, deflate' beforehand, so you can do this:

my $gunzipped = $mech->content( 'decoded_by_headers' => 1 );
