Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64

I tried to install SocialText Open about two weeks ago and it had then screwed up my CPAN. This is the error that showed whenever I tried to install a module:
Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64

For not being a Perl user (I'm a Java guy after all and a Linux end-user), I went to #perl of irc.freenode.net to seek for some help and I was asked to raise a bug instead in the Ubuntu site. I didn't do it nor tried to fix it after that as I was stuck with other higher priority tasks.

I have a little bit more time this afternoon so I asked Google for an answer and it appeared to have more results this time (two weeks ago, it had just two entries). That basically has concluded that this is a pretty new problem on Debian/Ubuntu.

Removing libcompress-raw-zlib-perl solved my problem, as suggested by nxadm. You may also want to try other options provided by other blog readers if you hit into similiar issue.

Good luck messing with Perl.
