I'm trying to install a module for Strawbeery Perl on Windows 7 and I'm getting this weird error message:

E:>cpan Deep::Encode
CPAN: CPAN::SQLite loaded ok (v0.203)
Creating database file ...
Global symbol "$gzerrno" requires explicit package name at C:\strawberry\perl\vendor\lib/CPAN/SQLite/Info.pm line 219.

I tried re-installing perl, but I still get this error.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    What do you get from `perl -wE"use strict; use Compress::Zlib; BEGIN { say $Compress::Zlib::VERSION } my $x = $gzerrno; say 'ok'"`? – ikegami Jun 24 '14 at 14:17
  • `CPAN::SQLite` uses `Compress::Zlib`, whose documentation says *"In "Compress::Zlib" version 2.x, the "gzopen" interface has been completely rewritten"*. Please check the versions of both of these modules: you may need to upgrade `CPAN` – Borodin Jun 24 '14 at 14:38
  • @ikegami I get this: E:\dev>perl -wE"use strict; use Compress::Zlib; BEGIN { say $Compress::Zlib::VERSION } my $x = $gzerrno; say 'ok'" Use of uninitialized value $Compress::Zlib::VERSION in say at -e line 1. Global symbol "$gzerrno" requires explicit package name at -e line 1. Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. – relatedpixels Jun 25 '14 at 12:09
  • Start by reinstalling Compress::Zlib. – ikegami Jun 25 '14 at 16:53
  • @ikegami, could you clarify whether the OP should truly reinstall the version of Compress::Zlib that they already have, or if they should actually be upgrading Compress::Zlib? – Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer Jun 26 '14 at 08:19
  • @Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer, Well, according to the OP, he has version `undef` of Compress::Zlib. I recommend he doesn't install version `undef` again. That's kinda why he needs to "re"install it. – ikegami Jun 26 '14 at 13:40
  • I deinstalled Strawberry and installed the recommended version 5.18.2.2 and I still get this error. Shouldn't it work now if it has somthing to do with compatibility between the modules? – relatedpixels Jun 27 '14 at 06:29
