Subject:	Compress::Zlib Clobbers CPAN shell

Hi,

I have a really strange result with the CPAN shell program after the 
Compress::Zlib module has been installed. If this module is removed the 
problem goes away.

Compress::Zlib passes 'make' and 'make test' without any error at all. After 
this module has been installed, the CPAN shell will not do much at all. I 
include the output from trying to install a simple module as an example.

This only happens on Cygwin, and I've done this now on both a Win98 and a 
Win2000 box. Likely the Break is in CPAN.pm Compress::Zlib or zlib itself?

Any pointers or similar experience? This does't seem to be anything like 
this in the list archives.
