Well, at the moment I have the fc9 one installed as part of trying to fix this: % rpm -q perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Compress-Zlib-2.005-3.fc9 % rpm -ql perl-Compress-Zlib /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Compress /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/auto/Compress /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/auto/Compress/Zlib /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix /usr/share/doc/perl-Compress-Zlib-2.005 /usr/share/doc/perl-Compress-Zlib-2.005/Changes /usr/share/doc/perl-Compress-Zlib-2.005/README /usr/share/man/man3/Compress::Zlib.3pm.gz I probably just installed that one by downloading the .rpm file and installing it with rpm. That version didn't help, though. Same results with the fc8 one, which I'm sure I either originally installed with F8 or updated at some point with yum. Thanks, Reid
