Hi Reuben,
You should have received the following warning if you didn't have Zlib
installed and the
PNG file contained compressed information:
Warning: Install Compress::Zlib to decode compressed binary data
The package description is likely very old, and should be updated from
the README file.

I just spent a frustrating hour trying to find out why reading EXIF
tags
in PNG files worked on one machine and not another. Eventually I found
it was because I didn't have libcompress-zlib-perl installed on one
machine. While exiftool obviously doesn't need this (e.g. if you're
working only with JPEGs) it would be nice to have some clue that this
is
a problem (maybe even a warning when working with PNGs?). At least
something in the package info would help. By the way, I notice that the
package description doesn't mention PNG in the list of file types whose
meta-info can be written; it seems to work fine for me, at least as far
as adding thumbnails goes!
