Re^3: Infuriating Modules Dependency Question

Did you read the documentation for Crypt::SSLeay?

You must have OpenSSL installed before compiling this module. You can get the latest OpenSSL package from http://www.openssl.org/.

Do you have OpenSSL installed?

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

CountZero, thanks! I had not seen that. Can it be installed with cpan? This: 'cpan install Crypt::OpenSSL' doesn't seem to work. Sorry, I know I'm probably asking very basic questions.	[reply]

OpenSSL is not a perl package, so you cannot use cpan to install it. Just download it from the website, compile and install.	[reply]

This: 'cpan install Crypt::OpenSSL' doesn't seem to work Looks to me that you're using ActivePerl. There are ppm packages (only for 32-bit perls 5.6, 5.8, 5.10, 5.12, 5.14 and 5.16) at the bribes repo. If you have one of those perls, you can install Crypt::SSLeay by running: `ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd` [download] Tonight I'll build ppm packages for Crypt::SSLeay for the "missing" architectures and put them on the sisyphusion repo. Update: Crypt::SSLeay ppm packages now added to the sisyphusion repo. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
