CSS::Squish - Compact many CSS files into one big file use CSS::Squish; my $concatenated = CSS::Squish->concatenate(@files); This module takes a list of CSS files and concatenates them, making sure to honor any valid @import statements included in the files. Following the CSS 2.1 spec, @import statements must be the first rules in a CSS file. Media-specific @import statements will be honored by enclosing the included file in an @media rule. This has the side effect of actually improving compatibility in Internet Explorer, which ignores media-specific @import rules but understands @media rules. It is possible that feature versions will include methods to compact whitespace and other parts of the CSS itself, but this functionality is not supported at the current time.

CSS::Squish->concatenate(@files)
Takes a list of files to concatenate and returns the results as one big scalar.

CSS::Squish->concatenate_to($dest, @files)
Takes a filehandle to print to and a list of files to concatenate. "concatenate" uses this method with an "open"ed scalar.

CSS::Squish->roots(@dirs)
A getter/setter for additional paths to search when looking for imported files. The paths specified here are searched _before_ trying to find the import relative to the file from which it is imported. This is useful if your server has multiple document roots from which your CSS imports files and lets you override the default behaviour (but still fall back to it). At the current time, comments are not skipped. This means comments happening before @import statements at the top of a file will cause the @import rules to not be parsed. Make sure the @import rules are the very first thing in the file (and only one per line). Only direct @import loops (i.e. where a file imports itself) are checked and skipped. It's easy enough to get this module in a loop. Don't do it. As of now, server-relative URLs (instead of file-relative URLs) will not work correctly.
