Sounds like this module hasn't been ported to a recent version of Perl. You want to use: perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1 to work around this problem.

Update: runrig was kind enough to note that he didn't have problems installing Compress::Zlib under Perl 5.6.1 so I did a quick look and find version 1.14 on CPAN but your output makes it appear that you are installing version 1.02. If that is correct, then you need to get a newer version of the module (runrig installed version 1.13).

Update2: runrig notes that the change log (in README) says for 1.03 "Updated to use new PL_* symbols", so it looks even more like you just have an old version. (:

    I neglected to include that I originally tried the top of the tree. Then, when that failed (required librt.so.1, which is not available for Sol2.6) I backed up to the most recent one which reported successful testing for solaris 2.6 on CPAN. All told, I spent about 6 hours tracing through dependencies, installing libraries, compilers, new makes, testing versions, changing the order of installation... all to have the developer tell me that he switched to ksh.

    I love my life, sometimes. Thank Larry that I get paid OT.
