Re: "Can't locate loadable object .." error

You need to properly install the module including compiling the loadable modules which will link against libz. Follow the installation directions in the Compress::Zlib package. The README details what you need to do to install this module.

There is also a Compress::Zlib::Perl which should be able to just copy onto your webhost without doing any compilation. Note that it only partially implements the Compress::Zlib API so depends on what you are doing.

So in short, this module is impossible for me to install on my webhost?	[reply]

That depends on the details of what your web host makes available to you and allows you to do on your own. Do they allow you to compile c programs? Do they have a policy against you compiling your own code? If they don't provide a c compiler, but don't mind what you install in your own space, you might find a precompiled copy of gcc somewhere and copy it to your account (assuming you have enough space to do so). You might even be lucky enough to find a precompiled version of Compress::ZLib somewhere and save yourself the hassle. --DrWhy "If God had meant for us to think for ourselves he would have given us brains.
