in thread Data compression by 50% + : is it possible?
FWIW Compress::Huffman looks promising.
It seems to take a frequency table as input (actually probability, so divide my table by 10000) and to store it together with a bit string and decode it again.
On a side note:
You might want to experiment with changed weights, that is multiply the frequency with the length of the key, like 246 with 3 and recalculate the proportions.
This could give you a better compression compared to the old format because there you need 3 characters for this entry.
(I'm not sure here, it's mind boggling)
