# VERSION

Version 2.05

# DESCRIPTION

A fast pure Perl CSS minifier.

# SYNOPSIS

   use CSS::Packer;

   my $packer = CSS::Packer->init();

   $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );

To return a scalar without changing the input simply use (e.g. example 2):

   my $ret = $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );

For backward compatibility it is still possible to call 'minify' as a function:

   CSS::Packer::minify( $scalarref, $opts );

First argument must be a scalarref of CSS-Code.
Second argument must be a hashref of options. Possible options are:

- compress

   Defines compression level. Possible values are 'minify' and 'pretty'.
   Default value is 'pretty'.

   'pretty' converts

       a {
       color:          black
       ;}   div

       { width:100px;
       }

   to

       a{
       color:black;
       }
       div{
       width:100px;
       }

   'minify' converts the same rules to

       a{color:black;}div{width:100px;}

- copyright

   You can add a copyright notice at the top of the script.

- remove\_copyright

   If there is a copyright notice in a comment it will only be removed if this
   option is set to a true value. Otherwise the first comment that contains the
   word "copyright" will be added at the top of the packed script. A copyright
   comment will be overwritten by a copyright notice defined with the copyright
   option.

- no\_compress\_comment

   If not set to a true value it is allowed to set a CSS comment that
   prevents the input being packed or defines a compression level.

       /* CSS::Packer _no_compress_ */
       /* CSS::Packer pretty */
