Update: Added WindowBits(see below) and it now works fine! (Why is that not the default?)

Dodging all the issues of LWP configuration, Accept-Encodings etc. I tried this which is equivalent: 

C:\test>gzip junk.htm

C:\test>type junk38.pl
#! perl -slw
use strict;
use Compress::Raw::Zlib;

my $o = new Compress::Raw::Zlib::Inflate(
######### I forgot this. With it, it works perfectly.#################
+#######
    WindowBits => WANT_GZIP_OR_ZLIB,  
);

binmode STDIN;

while( read( STDIN, my $in, int( rand 1024 ) ) ) {
    my $st = $o->inflate( $in, my $out );

    die "$st" unless $st == Z_OK;

    print $out;
}

C:\test>perl junk38.pl < junk.htm.gz
data error at junk38.pl line 12.

And I always get 'data error'?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
