libwww-perl 5.803 failures

[cbdeja@my-deja.com]

I'm building libwww-perl version 5.803 (the latest) on Solaris 10 with
perl 5.8.6.

libwww-perl fails two tests as below:

......

Any ideas about what is likely to be causing these failures?

TIA.

Change the
$m->decoded_content
calls to
$m->decoded_content(raise_error => 1);
to get more diagnostics. It might be because Compress::Zlib is not
installed on your system or some big endian vs. little endian issue.

It works fine on my 5.8.6 installation with FreeBSD 4.9.

Many thanks Slaven, it revealed exactly what you thought - no
Compress::Zlib. I've added Compress::Zlib and all libwww-perl tests now
pass.
