	Looks like gzip doesn't like the distfile you downloaded.
Perhaps you got a failed download, and the distfile you have is
really a bunch of HTML telling you so?

	I was able to get something that appears to be a tarball
from cpan, size is 8318 bytes, MD5 and SHA1 are:

MD5 (File-ReadBackwards-1.04.tar.gz) = bda339c8b2e5139649cb28c4b775fb42
SHA1(File-ReadBackwards-1.04.tar.gz)= 19874cb169f2b105c82222588a163fb17bd77599

	Always good to check that the file you downloaded to make
checksums 1) is really the file you think it is and 2) can be demonstrated
to be so via cryptographic methods (if possible of course).
