Actually it has a dependency on a Compress::Zlib with a working eof
method - it appears that 1.xx versions do not have that.

I'll think about this, but I'm reluctant as 1.xx is obviously still
fairly common and it does (largely) work with 1.xx releases.
The 1.xx releases are also much easier to install by hand, being only a
single archive, so I myself often wind up installing them in order to
rescue CPAN after it's been broken by a vendor perl update.

The dependency was changed to 5.006 in the 1.08 release. That is in
Zlib.pm as it always has been - the Makefile.PL will run quite happily
with earlier versions of perl as far as I know.
