how about looking within your distribution? For Debian, the package names
are libarchive-zip-perl and libcompress-zlib-perl. I don't know about yum-OS
(what was it again?).

Maybe your compiler doesn't generate 64-bit-code to match the Perl
executable? You *did* compile on the target system, didn't you?

I doubt it. In fact, I can build both modules (fetched from CPAN) and
successfully run the tests on Debian Etch (Perl 5.8.8) (32-bit installation
though). Are you sure you've got all the dependencies installed? You won't
run into such problems if you can just install a package ...
