thank you and for the record this is what I did/you should do if you have same/similar problem:

1) first download all these packages from your debian base in my case it was etch, so I got the from:

http://packages.debian.org/etch/perl/

using the closest repositories 

 2)
root@Knoppix:/media/hdb2/inst/sw/OO/source/ooxpkgs# ls -l

[download]

3) then I installed them using dpkg 

root@Knoppix:~# dpkg -i perl-base_5.8.8-7etch6_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 110893 files and directories currently installed

 then I got what I needed (namely Zip.pm):

root@Knoppix:/media/hdb2/inst/sw/OO/source/ooxpkgs# find / -name Zip.p
+m

and the compilation went on!
