A Test Document

This document is going to be compressed automatically when located in the ./compressed directory. If you have a browser that can automatically read compressed data, then you will not see any difference when opening the compressed version. To see the difference, try telneting to port 80 and retrieving the document like this:

 % telnet www.modperl.com 80
 Trying 207.198.250.44...
