Subject: dependency on IO::ZLib doesn't compile
After a couple of attempts to get Archive-Any using "perl -MCPAN -e'install Archive-Any'" I noticed it complaining that IO::Zlib wasn't installed. When trying to install it I realised it was already downloaded. I'm not sure if it was downloaded by the Archive-Any install (I am 'follow'ing dependencies) Installing IO::Zlib allows installation of Archive-Any to complete

Archive::Tar at the time, which Archive::Any depends on, did not list IO::Zlib as a dependency. It just mentioned in the Makefile.PL that if you didn't have IO::Zlib you couldn't use tar.gz files. That's what you were running into. http://search.cpan.org/src/KANE/Archive-Tar-1.08/Makefile.PL Now Archive::Tar just depends on IO::Zlib. Problem solved.
