and I'll let you do your own search (I promise it will work) for
Compress::Zlib.

PS: By the way, if you run Linux or have a Mac you may want to use
your operating system's default package manager to fetch and install
these modules. Likewise if you run Windows and have installed
ActiveState Perl, you may want to use the PPM (package manager) that
comes with Active State Perl.
Hi, J:
Thanks. I see how that web page works now.
It is very alien. I have never seen a web interface like that before.
The complaint specifies that Compress::Zlib 1.10 is missing and
that web page's search for Compress::Zlib
only returns Compress-Zlib-2.001.tar.gz
<http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-2.001.tar.gz>.

I have since found Compress-Zlib-1.10.tar.gz at another site.
I am using Slackware v11.0, kernel 2.6.17.13, but I do not
know how to make its package manager 'fetch'.
Again, Thanks.
Chuck
AFAIK, Slackware's native package manager doesn't fetch things for you.
That's part of the reason that the CPAN shell exists.
If you had configured the CPAN shell, you could have installed
Compress::Zlib without having to know where it was located. The CPAN
shell takes care of that for you.
Oh, and BTW, if you want to update Slackware easily, get a program
called "slapt-get."
