Greetings, monks. I am trying to write a script that will zip files. To this end, I'm using a module (something I still don't understand, even though I've been at this for a year) called Compress::Raw::Zlib (version 2.004). I extracted it and installed it with the three commands

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test

Then, when I tried to run this script from the terminal:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl use Compress::Raw::Zlib ; chdir 'jnn'; ($genie,$bottle)=new Compress::Raw::Zlib::Deflate(); print $bottle."\n"; $bottle=$genie->deflate('content.xml', '../jnn.sxw'); print $bottle."\n"; $bottle=$genie->deflate('meta.xml', '../jnn.sxw'); print $bottle."\n"; $bottle=$genie->deflate('META-INF', '../jnn.sxw'); print $bottle."\n"; $bottle=$genie->deflate('META-INF/manifest.xml', '../jnn.sxw'); print $bottle."\n"; $bottle=$genie->deflate('mimetype', '../jnn.sxw'); print $bottle."\n";
I got this output:

(I eliminated some of the commented lines, so 'line 7' is actually the line that reads 'use Compress::Raw::Zlib'.)

Anyway, I'm sure that the module didn't install for some reason. Is any reason immediately obvious?

$help = 'greatly appreciated';
