root@linuxbox Compress-Zlib-2.005# perl Makefile.PL Up/Downgrade not needed. Writing Makefile for Compress::Zlib Can't locate auto/Compress/Zlib/autosplit.ix in @INC I really wish I wasn't so hasty to start deleting things before :)	[reply]

Ok, well I seem to have messed up my install too trying to reproduce your symptoms. However, re-installing the last 1.X version of compress::zlib seems to work. So try that: get http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-1.42.tar.gz install it and then try to re-install PDF::Api2 "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"

Thank you so very much. I am dumbstruck that you would go to that length to help me solve my problem. You're certainly a perl saint in my book. That fixed everything and PDF::API2 is working flawlessly. I can now resume my scheduled programming. Thank you again.	[reply]

Thanks so much for investigating this - been driving me mad. I have had a very similar problem with moving from ubuntu to a macBook Darwin *nix: installing via CPAN gave me the latest Compress::Zlib 2.007 and the same error message; returning to 1.42 solved the problem. Does anyone know if this is a known bug?	[reply]
