NAME

       CSS::Minifier - Perl extension for minifying CSS

SYNOPSIS

       To minify a CSS file and have the output written directly to another file

         use CSS::Minifier qw(minify);
         open(INFILE, 'myStylesheet.css') or die;
         open(OUTFILE, 'myStylesheet.css') or die;
         minify(input => *INFILE, outfile => *OUTFILE);
         close(INFILE);
         close(OUTFILE);

       To minify a CSS string literal. Note that by omitting the outfile parameter a the minified
       code is returned as a string.

         my minifiedCSS = minify(input => 'div {font-family: serif;}');

       To include a copyright comment at the top of the minified code.

         minify(input => 'div {font-family: serif;}', copyright => 'BSD License');

       The "input" parameter is manditory. The "output" and "copyright" parameters are optional
       and can be used in any combination.

DESCRIPTION

       This module removes unnecessary whitespace from CSS. The primary requirement developing
       this module is to not break working stylesheets: if working CSS is in input then working
       CSS is output. The Mac/Internet Explorer comment hack will be minimized but not stripped
       and so will continue to function.

       This module understands space, horizontal tab, new line, carriage return, and form feed
       characters to be whitespace. Any other characters that may be considered whitespace are
       not minimized. These other characters include paragraph separator and vertical tab.

       For static CSS files, it is recommended that you minify during the build stage of web
       deployment. If you minify on-the-fly then it might be a good idea to cache the minified
       file. Minifying static files on-the-fly repeatedly is wasteful.

   EXPORT
       None by default.

       Exportable on demand: minify()
