NAME

File::Compressible - determine if a mime type is compressible

SYNOPSIS

  use File::Compressible 'compressible';
  use File::Type;
  ...
  my $ft = File::Type->new();
  for my $file (@files) {
    my $type = checktype_filename($file);
    next unless $type;
    next unless compressible($type);
    # do some compression magic!
  }

DESCRIPTION

File::Compressible supplies one exportable function, compressible, which takes a mime type and returns true if it is compressible, undef if not.

Compressible mime types are stored in a package variable, @File::Compressible::compressible. It is concidered okay to modify this list and future versioins will maintain this. A second package variable contains precompiled regular expressions that are tested against passed mime types, it is named @File::Compressible::compressible_re.
