zlib itself is probably installed on your system, what you probably need is the development pagackage for zlib. Depending on your system it will be something like zlib-dev, zlib-devel, etc.

Where can I get the package? I am tring to install NET FTP server and I have lot of dependent modules. I need some infromation. Does a module work properly even if it fails all the tests ( make test)? I am asking this because even pass % is 0 it is able to install module.

You get basically all Perl modules from CPAN at www.cpan.org or most easily by using the cpan shell. You get into the shell by running 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' on the commandline. It will help you resolve dependency issues also.

As for failing tests, it really depends on the tests. I've had some modules fail certain tests, but work perfectly for what I needed. But in general no, not passing any tests is usually a very bad sign.
