Hi,

I'd like to announce the release of PerlIO::via::Bzip2 to the world.
>From the documentation:

NAME
PerlIO::via::Bzip2 - PerlIO::via layer for Bzip2 (de)compression

SYNOPSIS
# Read a bzip2 compressed file from disk.
open(my $fh, "<:via(Bzip2)", "compressed_file");
my $uncompressed_data = <$fh>;

# Compress data on-the-fly to a bzip2 compressed file on disk.
open(my $fh, ">:via(Bzip2)", "compressed_file");
print {$fh} $uncompressed_data;

DESCRIPTION
This module implements a PerlIO layer which will let you handle bzip2
compressed files transparently.
