Hello

In SSODS (http://oinkzwurgl.org/ssods3, armv5tejl and ppc version) scanner.pl reports the following error (slimserver.pl runs just fine):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@ds207 /volume1/SlimServer/Slim # perl /volume1/SlimServer/scanner.pl
The following CPAN modules were found but cannot work with SqueezeCenter:
  Compress::Zlib (loaded 1.41, need 1.41)

To fix this problem you have several options:
1. Install the latest version of the module(s) using CPAN: sudo cpan Some::Module
2. Update the module's package using apt-get, yum, etc.
3. Run the .tar.gz version of SqueezeCenter which includes all required CPAN modules.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, it says it loaded 1.41 but needs 1.41... I have 1.42:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@ds207 /volume1/SlimServer # perl
use Compress::Zlib;
print Compress::Zlib->VERSION;
^D
1.42
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the module does work:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@ds207 /volume1/SlimServer/Slim # perl
use Compress::Zlib;
$a = compress("oinkzwurgl");
$b = uncompress($a);
printf "$b\n";
^D
oinkzwurgl
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The error happens when I run scanner.pl manually and when slimserver.pl (SC) starts it.

When I remove SlimServer/CPAN/Compress/Zlib.pm everything works as expected.

Some notes on SSODS:

- running Bin/build-perl-modules.pl is not an option (SSODS runs on Synology Diskstations which are embedded systems where no toolchain etc. is available).
- SSODS comes with Perl in an unusal location: /volume1/SSODS instead of /usr or /usr/local
- I added several modules (Compress::Zlib, Database stuff, YAML, etc.). They all load just fine in simple test programmes (as e.g. shown above).
- Perl is configured correctly for this situation (AFAIK) and runs just fine without any LD_LIBRARY_PATH/ld.so.conf hacks.
