monsignor has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
TLDR; Needed to install libz ( apt install zlib1g-dev )
I'm brand new to perl, and I have been having a very hard time getting Net::SSLeay installed. It seems Net::SSLeay is a prerequisite for almost anything that does https. (I tried a few other packages and they tried to install Net::SSLeay).
I'm working in a Ununtu 20:04 docker container (so I won't mess up my main workstation), and I installed the following in the container:
adduser linux apt install sudo usermod -aG sudo linux apt install build-essential apt install openssl apt install libssl-dev apt install curl apt install vim apt install less sudo apt install cpanminus As user linux sudo cpanm Data::Dump sudo cpanm Net::HTTPS sudo cpanm LWP::UserAgent
Everything was fine until I tried to use LWP::UserAgent - It complained that I needed LWP::Protocol::https , and when I tried to install it I got errors relating to Net::SSLeay . I tried to install Net::SSLeay by itself and go tthe folowing:
Any assistance would be much appreciated -- if I should be using different modules that's OK, I'm just looking for a good way to do https. For a Noob the library is very hard to navigate, but it appears that LWP::UserAgent is an up-to-date and maintained module.
