in thread Perl Net::LDAPS issue with Perl version 5.24 and 5.26, works with Perl version 5.34.

UPDATE:

Hi, Thank you for the reply. Yes, it's not strawberry 5.34 but it's 5.32.1, sorry for that.

Both Strawberry Perl 5.26 and Strawberry Perl 5.32.1 are on the same machine.

output of perl -V:archname is same for both the Perl versions i.e., archname='MSWin32-x64-multi-thread';

Note, i have Perl 5.24 (not strawberry) but gets same error with Net::LDAPS which i get it from Strawberry Perl 5.26.

Thank you.

    Aah ... a mistake that's easy to make. (At least, I've found it to be easily made on occasions ;-)

    I don't quite understand your issue with IO::Socket and IO.
    With Strawberry 5.26.0 (archname='MSWin32-x64-multi-thread') I ran cpan -i IO, which successfully updated the IO module to version 0.48.
    I then ran: 
    C:\_64\strawberry5.26.0>cpan -i IO::Socket

IO::Socket is up to date (1.48).

    So there's nothing to be done there - I already have the latest.

    It's also possible that your Net::LDAPS issue lies with the actual ssl libraries that shipped with the older Strawberry versions.
    At some stage we might discover that, with perl-5.26.0, you need to build these modules against the OpenSSL C libraries that shipped with 5.32 - but I wouldn't worry about that until we have actual evidence that such action is needed.

    For example, see https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/issues/15 for details re changes to the way that OpenSSL is built.
    In a nutshell, the OpenSSL libraries that shipped with 5.32.x were built without _MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT.
    This was done to avoid an issue with MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (32-bit) perls - but I guess it could also have (unknowingly) benefited the MSWin32-x64-multi-thread builds, too.

    Update: Hmmm ... more likely, if the later OpenSSL libraries are needed it will be for an entirely different reason.

    Cheers,
    Rob
