I admit I only know zlib from the C side, but looking at
IO::Uncompress::Gunzip shows that it uses Compress::Raw::Zlib which exposes
the zlib API. All you'd need to do is feed the chunks into ->inflate (of a
Compress::Raw::Zlib::Inflate object). It looks as if Compress::Raw::Zlib is
reasonably well documented to get you going.

There is also a Compress::Zlib module, which supposedly is less raw - I
couldn't say what is less raw about it though, it seems to offer the exact
same API for inflating streams.
