+\fIThe \fR\f(CI$input_filename_or_reference\fR\fI parameter\fR
+.IX Subsection "The $input_filename_or_reference parameter"
+.PP
+The parameter, \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR, is used to define the
+source of the uncompressed data.
+.PP
+It can take one of the following forms:
+.IP "A filename" 5
+.IX Item "A filename"
+If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is
+assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for reading and the
+input data will be read from it.
+.IP "A filehandle" 5
+.IX Item "A filehandle"
+If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a filehandle, the input
+data will be read from it. The string '\-' can be used as an alias for
+standard input.
+.IP "A scalar reference" 5
+.IX Item "A scalar reference"
+If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a scalar reference, the input data
+will be read from \f(CW$$input_filename_or_reference\fR.
+.IP "An array reference" 5
+.IX Item "An array reference"
+If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is an array reference, each element in
+the array must be a filename.
+.Sp
+The input data will be read from each file in turn.
+.Sp
+The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only
+contains valid filenames before any data is compressed.
+.IP "An Input FileGlob string" 5
+.IX Item "An Input FileGlob string"
+If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a string that is delimited by the
+characters "<" and ">" \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an
+\&\fIinput fileglob string\fR. The input is the list of files that match the
+fileglob.
+.Sp
+See File::GlobMapper for more details.
+.PP
+If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is any other type,
+\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
+.PP
+In addition, if \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR corresponds to a filename
+from the filesystem, a number of zip file header fields will be populated by default
+using the following attributes from the input file
+.IP \(bu 5
+the full filename contained in \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR
+.IP \(bu 5
+the file protection attributes
+.IP \(bu 5
+the UID/GID for the file
+.IP \(bu 5
+the file timestamps
+.PP
+If you do not want to use these defaults they can be overridden by
+explicitly setting one, or more, of the \f(CW\*(C`Name\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Time\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`TextFlag\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ExtAttr\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`exUnixN\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`exTime\*(C'\fR options or by setting the

+\fIThe \fR\f(CI$output_filename_or_reference\fR\fI parameter\fR
+.IX Subsection "The $output_filename_or_reference parameter"
+.PP
+The parameter \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is used to control the
+destination of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of
+these forms.
+.IP "A filename" 5
+.IX Item "A filename"
+If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is
+assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for writing and the
+compressed data will be written to it.
+.IP "A filehandle" 5
+.IX Item "A filehandle"
+If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a filehandle, the
+compressed data will be written to it. The string '\-' can be used as
+an alias for standard output.
+.IP "A scalar reference" 5
+.IX Item "A scalar reference"
+If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a scalar reference, the
+compressed data will be stored in \f(CW$$output_filename_or_reference\fR.
+.IP "An Array Reference" 5
+.IX Item "An Array Reference"
+If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is an array reference,
+the compressed data will be pushed onto the array.
+.IP "An Output FileGlob" 5
+.IX Item "An Output FileGlob"
+If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a string that is delimited by the
+characters "<" and ">" \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an
+\&\fIoutput fileglob string\fR. The output is the list of files that match the
+fileglob.
+.Sp
+When \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is an fileglob string,
+\&\f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR must also be a fileglob string. Anything
+else is an error.
+.Sp
+See File::GlobMapper for more details.
+.PP
+If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is any other type,
+\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
+.SS Notes
+.IX Subsection "Notes"
+When \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR maps to multiple files/buffers and
+\&\f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a single
+file/buffer the input files/buffers will each be stored
+in \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR as a distinct entry.
+.SS "Optional Parameters"
+.IX Subsection "Optional Parameters"
+The optional parameters for the one-shot function \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR
+are (for the most part) identical to those used with the OO interface defined in the
+"Constructor Options" section. The exceptions are listed below
+.ie n .IP """AutoClose => 0|1""" 5
+.el .IP "\f(CWAutoClose => 0|1\fR" 5
+.IX Item "AutoClose => 0|1"
+This option applies to any input or output data streams to
+\&\f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR that are filehandles.
+.Sp
+If \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR is specified, and the value is true, it will result in all
+input and/or output filehandles being closed once \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR has
+completed.
+.Sp
+This parameter defaults to 0.
+.ie n .IP """BinModeIn => 0|1""" 5
+.el .IP "\f(CWBinModeIn => 0|1\fR" 5
+.IX Item "BinModeIn => 0|1"
+This option is now a no-op. All files will be read in binmode.
+.ie n .IP """Append => 0|1""" 5
+.el .IP "\f(CWAppend => 0|1\fR" 5
+.IX Item "Append => 0|1"
+The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output data
+stream.
+.RS 5
+.IP \(bu 5
+A Buffer
+.Sp
+If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the end of
+the output buffer. Otherwise the output buffer will be cleared before any
+compressed data is written to it.
+.IP \(bu 5
+A Filename
+.Sp
+If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode. Otherwise
+the contents of the file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed
+data is written to it.
+.IP \(bu 5
+A Filehandle
+.Sp
+If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to the end of
+the file via a call to \f(CW\*(C`seek\*(C'\fR before any compressed data is
+written to it. Otherwise the file pointer will not be moved.
+.RE
+.RS 5
+.Sp
+When \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is specified, and set to true, it will \fIappend\fR all compressed
+data to the output data stream.
+.Sp
+So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the eof
+before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filename, it will be opened for
+appending. If the output is a buffer, all compressed data will be
+appended to the existing buffer.
+.Sp
+Conversely when \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is not specified, or it is present and is set to
+false, it will operate as follows.
+.Sp
+When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of the file
+before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filehandle
+its position will not be changed. If the output is a buffer, it will be
+wiped before any compressed data is output.
+.Sp
+Defaults to 0.

+.SS Examples
+.IX Subsection "Examples"
+Here are a few example that show the capabilities of the module.
+.PP
+\fIStreaming\fR
+.IX Subsection "Streaming"
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& $ echo hello world | perl \-MIO::Compress::Zip=zip \-e \*(Aqzip \e*STDIN => \e*STDOUT\*(Aq >output.zip
+.Ve
+.PP
+The special filename "\-" can be used as a standin for both \f(CW\*(C`\e*STDIN\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\e*STDOUT\*(C'\fR,
+so the above can be rewritten as
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& $ echo hello world | perl \-MIO::Compress::Zip=zip \-e \*(Aqzip "\-" => "\-"\*(Aq >output.zip
+.Ve
+.PP
+One problem with creating a zip archive directly from STDIN can be demonstrated by looking at
+the contents of the zip file, output.zip, that we have just created.
+.PP
+.Vb 7

+\& \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+\& 12 1 file
+.Ve
+.PP
+The archive member (filename) used is the empty string.
+.PP
+If that doesn't suit your needs, you can explicitly set the filename used
+in the zip archive by specifying the Name option, like so
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& echo hello world | perl \-MIO::Compress::Zip=zip \-e \*(Aqzip "\-" => "\-", Name => "hello.txt"\*(Aq >output.zip
