perlbaski has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I recently installed Active state 5.16 to /usr/local/bin and have been trying to install external modules using ppm install.

When I run ppm install as myself I get permission denied. But when I run as sudo I get "Can't find any package that provides Crypt::SSLeay for VIPerlToolkit". Wonder why sudo cannot find the packages. How to fix this issue?

Please help

    It comes down to turning on verbosity/logging for "ppm" and examining/updating/changing your ppm configuration (all explained in ppm faq) , adding proxy config ... or disabling firewall

    FWIW, sudo doesn'tdoesn't look for packages :)
