It's probably easier to just configure Apache to do the compression for you.
That way the static content not processed by Catalyst will also be
compressed.

I just stick "SetOutputFilter DEFLATE" inside the <VirtualHost ...>. In
theory, you ought to also put it inside a <FileMatch ...> to exclude
already-compressed files, but I don't bother.
