How do you get IO::Uncompress::Gunzip to error if the input file isn't a GZ file?
Say I have files like:
dd if=/dev/random of=test.random bs=64 count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=test.zero bs=64 count=1
echo "hello world!" > hello.txt
And my test.pl script is:
use IO::Uncompress::Gunzip qw(gunzip $GunzipError);
my $output;
my $status = gunzip $ARGV[0] => \$output, Strict => 1 or die "Failed!"
+;
print $GunzipError;
print $output;
Then...
test.pl test.random
test.pl test.zero
test.pl hello.txt
None of those will die or give error (well test.random will if you are really lucky...)
It seems to me that if the GZIP magic header is no present the input just copies to output instead of being error?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
