=head2 Examples
+Here are a few example that show the capabilities of the module.
+
+=head3 Streaming
+
+This very simple command line example demonstrates the streaming capabilities of the module.
+The code reads data from STDIN, compresses it, and writes the compressed data to STDOUT.

+ $ echo hello world | perl -MIO::Compress::Deflate=deflate -e 'deflate \*STDIN => \*STDOUT' >output.1950

+The special filename "-" can be used as a standin for both C<\*STDIN> and C<\*STDOUT>,
