Bug#912244: [rt.cpan.org #127511] DPKG::Parse(3pm) claims that Packages.gz is "understood", but doesn't support compressed files

Hi,

small correction:

Actually it's $obiect->get_packages(…) which always returns undef. And
that's because of https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=110014

If I call $obiect->parse() before that, I get either undef or the code
die()s with "line 1: I have no idea what to do with
'<gzip-garbled-content>'".
