Re: Re: CPAN LWP module installation problems

/msg tachyon Hi! Tachyon, thanks for your reply related to the LWP and libwww-perl installation. I did what you advised and attempted to install it and got the following error -

D:\Perl\temp\libwww-perl>ppm install libwww-perl.ppd

Error: no suitable installation target found for package libwww-perl.
[download]

So I'm not sure where to go now ..... I have installed the OpenSSL binary into the Perl directory, but tried to install Crypt:SSLeay on top of it but it doesn't seem to do anything. Please do let me know. Thanks, Surya

Unless there is a really good reason not to I would simply remove your perl install and reinstall Perl 5.6.1 from Active State - this is a binary distribution and works well on Win32. I suggest 5.6.1 as 5.6.1 is fairly stable and 5.8 is fairly new and thus much less stable. When you install the Active State Perl you get LWP anyway as well as ppm. You have a broken install and this is the quickest fix. cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply]
