Text compression in a column

We have a clob and a blob column field must be availible for
retrieval. We're thinking of compressing these fields to save space.
One easy way to do it, is to have a perl script compress the data
before inserting it. I was wondering, however, if there was a more
notive mthod for compression in Oracle.
