I have been using ASSP on debian (all versions) for years with no problems. It's been a while since I've done an install (I upgrade about once a year), but never had dependency problems. Make it a point to search the debian repos for binary versions of the required libraries... I remember having to do that. For instance, for your Compress::Zlib you are having problems with, "apt-cache search perl zlib" brings up the package 'libcompress-zlib-perl'. Save yourself some headache and search for binaries before using CPAN.
