Hi cookersjs,

I seem to be unable to reproduce this; downloading the file from the URL https://github.com/bioperl/bioperl-live/archive/release-1-6-924.zip, even when I use LWP::Simple in the same way that INSTALL.pl does, I get a file that unzips without errors. Perhaps it was just a temporary error, and you could try downloading the file again. You might also try looking at what the file you downloaded actually contains, for example with hexdump -C file.zip | head -50. Or, perhaps you could try upgrading your LWP::Simple, LWP::Protocol::https and Archive::Zip.

Hope this helps,
