I'm trying to get the perl Gzip module installed for a 5.8.1 version, can't find a rpm around so I did a manual install by copying over the files of a 5.10 install.
I've read through the suggestions in Manual installation of a Perl Module but it fails to work because of an undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr error in zlib.so (I googled a bit and it seems to be caused by perl version mismatch).
So I'm wondering if there's a place I can find a legitimate copy (this is going into our toolchain repo so it has to be from a reliable source) of the ancient zlib+gzip module? Thanks.

There is no module called `Gzip`. Which one are you talking about, exactly? – daxim Jul 05 '13 at 17:22

the stuff in package perl-IO-Compress-Zlib, perl-IO-Compress-Base and perl-IO-Compress-RAW-Zlib (I think these are what they called). Basically it's IO/Compress/Gzip.pm that I need – fy_iceworld Jul 05 '13 at 17:24

Not the best idea mixing the system's packaged installations with your own ones. Check for the perlbrew (http://perlbrew.pl) how to install your own perl and own modules. – clt60 Jul 05 '13 at 17:26

Copying files from one installation to another is **the worst way** to install the files. – Brad Gilbert Aug 21 '13 at 14:55

According to the CP5.8.1AN index, IO-Compress-2.061 installs fine on your ancient Perl. Build your own package from it, if desired.
