in reply to Error installing Filter::Crypto

It appears it may not be your fault. The Filter::Crytpo CPAN Testers matrix show similar results on any mswin with perl newer than 5.25.10. Looking at the difference between 5.25.10 passing and 5.26.0 failing, the thing that jumps out at me is the change from gcc 4.9.2 jumping to gcc 7.1.0. This 5.26.1 linux fail uses gcc 6.3.0 and gives the same error messages during compilation, whereas this 5.26.1 linux pass uses gcc 5.4.0. This all seems to point to the version of gcc.

    This bug report (showing same error) suggests that it's the version of openssl itself that matters.
    According to the Filter::Crypto owner this should be fixed in the github repo.

      Thank you very much for your quick response. Seems like I have to wait for the next release.

        You can also download the current source from github and use that.
