Re: Need to Download Crypt:SSLeay Module

Does this help, with problem #1? Using the packages prepared for your particular flavor of *nix is often the answer.

And self-help, using a search engine such as big G, MS's entry, DuckDuckGo, etc., often helps you find that answer (Google with search terms "Ubuntu Crypt:SSLeay Perl" provided the source linked above.

To deal with "'cpan' command no longer works for me when I am the root user" you may wish to consult the various sources of Ubuntu-specific information... and when you do so you may wish to explain "no longer"" (implying that it once did "work" but stopped at some point). IOW, what did you change just before you started having the problem?

I think I might have installed the perl module, but this is the error I get when I run the program that uses Crypt::SSLeay. Can't locate loadable object for module Crypt::SSLeay in @INC However, I made sure that the location for the PERL5LIB variable now includes the location of Crypt/SSLeay.pm I don't understand why the problem is.

I don't understand why the problem is. `[ Can't locate loadable object for module]` Can't locate loadable object for module it means you copied some .pm file, instead of compiling the (dll) parts that need compiling as per the README/INSTALL/documentation (standard procedure) See Re: Cant Install Crypt::SSLeay in Win 7 (64) Activestate Perl, How to install CPAN modules into ActivePerl, Re: A guide to installing modules for Win32, A Guide to Installing Modules, and figure it out :)	[reply] [d/l]
