That's very odd. (Which installer did you use? But both should have 
been updated anyway.) The installer should have given you a new copy of

	/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/xetex/perl/lib/PDF/Reuse.pm

where line 13, which reads "use Compress::Zlib ....", is commented out. 
Could you take a look and see if you did get the new version? You could 
check the file by looking in Terminal with:

	[jonathan:~] % head -n 20 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/xetex/perl/lib/PDF/Reuse.pm

and see if line 13 has a '#' character at the start. I'm wondering if 
you actually got the replacement installed OK; as far as I can tell, 
both installers include the revised file.

OK.... when you get a chance, please let me know what you find. Sorry 
for the trouble!
