I did read, but eventually had not time to investigate yet.
Isn't it your compression program Compress::Zlib?

BTW when building perl, it could be easier to place extensions into ./ext
directory for them to be easier rebuilt.

I think - not many.

I beleive people rarely use perl on WinCE: IMHO those who want robust usage
of Perl on pocket devices probably use Linux-based devices, while ordinary
WinCE users rarely want using perlce anyways.

WinCE port requires quite many improvements, but those improvements are not
done, due to many reasons.
