Sorry it took so long to get back on your suggestions. I did the "rpm" you suggested and it came back with:

perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.fc6

and went back to the command prompt. Also, I tried the yum command also and it kicked back with the message, "Nothing to do", which tells me it is installed.

I am really bewildered as to why this does not want to work. Any suggestions that anyone has as to why this isn't working and how to get it to work is greatly appreciated as I am stumped.

Regards, Jeff
