I am trying to decompress data stored in a database that was originally compressed with the Perl Compress::LZF module.

The problem is that the header on the compressed data doesn't appear to match what the com.ning.compress.lzf library expects.

Does anyone know a way of decompressing data that's been compressed using Compress::LZF?

  • Is something preventing you from using [`Compress::LZF::decompress`](https://metacpan.org/pod/Compress::LZF)? – Sinan Ünür Apr 26 '17 at 21:05
  • Have you been able to decompress the database contents in any way at all? I wouldn't jump to blaming the module. – Borodin Apr 26 '17 at 21:07
  • Sinan, the data was initially compressed in Perl, but we're using a Java application to read it. – pconrey Apr 27 '17 at 14:26
  • Borodin, I can compress/decompress as long as I'm using either Java or Perl to do both. The problem is when it's compressed with one language and decompressed with another. – pconrey Apr 27 '17 at 14:27
