Problem with Compress::Zlib

[Mr. No Address]

I have two machines with fresh Debian Sarge installs. On both I've
tried to "install Bundle::CPAN" and they both fail in the same way. It
looks like it might be a problem with Compress::Zlib. If I try to
install Compress::Zlib by itself I get the following:

~>perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

~>perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Compress::Zlib

I had a very vanilla install and thus didn't have make installed on the
machine(s).
