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.
