Hi,

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

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;
