Yes I think so. On my systems it's perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.fc6 but the 
strange thing is I think the problem was occuring in a file that wasn't 
associated with an rpm... i.e. It was in the site_perl hyrachy not the 
vendor_perl area... and doing a rpm -qf <file> said it was unclaimed by 
any package

So the problem may have been caused by an update that was done using 
perl -MCPAN -e shell.

Perl has a multitude of different version folders on my machine I'm not 
sure how it all works together. Just searching for zlib.pm gives heaps 
of options

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Zlib.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Compress/Zlib.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm

I suppose site_perl takes precidence over vendor_perl
