Re: ODBC Connect with compression=gzip by pope Make sure you run the same version of Storable on your Solaris box and on your Windows box. That "Unexpected EOF" message is typical of this problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. Win32 is using Storable 1.0.10 and Solaris, 1.0.12

I can't seem to be able to find a more current Win32 module using ppm or locate the 1.0.10 version to install on Solaris. I guess I'll try following the arcane instructions How do I make a PPM package? or install gcc on my Win98 box.

Does anyone know of an simpler way to install/upgrade modules under Win32 ActivePerl?

Thanks again for your help.
