Can you post a minimal test case?

I'm sorry to say that yes, your IO::Handle::Zlib wrapper is bogus (doesn't work now does it ;).

IO::Zlib provides an interface much like which means it's not exactly like, which is what needs to happen. You could go investingating XML::Parser to figure out all the IO::Handle methods it calls, and in turn, make sure IO::Zlib complies, cause it's not someplace.

It's obviously not handling the reading of the file well. I doubt the file is being decompressed past the original size (highly unlikely), I just think the wrapper is bogus.

You should try IO::Filter.

update:
BTW, do you pass ErrorContext to new XML::Twig? You should.

Whoa, I just checked my XML::Parser::Expat's sub parse, and it has if (ref($arg) and UNIVERSAL::isa($arg, 'IO::Handler')) {. It's version 2.27. How stupid. http://search.cpan.org/src/COOPERCL/XML-Parser-2.27/Expat/Expat.pm confirms it.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
