in reply to Problem installing Net::SSLeay and Crypt::SSLeay ..... please help :-D

You can't go trying whatever flavor of make you like, all willy nilly like that, it won't work.
You must use what perl -V:make says.

Why not use PPM? (ignorance, or you need a version not available).

Now as to your actual problem, you don't have have the compiler `cl', with which your version of perl was compiled.

Try  perl -V:cc and  perl -V to see more info.

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!

    Why not use PPM?

    PodMaster - do you know where the Net::SSLeay PPD is located then? Both the Activestate and Randy Kobes' repositories do not appear to contain Net::SSLeay unfortunately.

      vek, Since PodMaster passed on the goodwill to me, I'll pass it on to you ....... He gave a repository for Perl 5.8.0 which has the Net::SSLeay module .... http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer58 Hope this helps. Take care, Surya

    PM, Thanks for the reply. Here's the info I got on doing what you advised - 

    C:\Documents and Settings\Surya Prakash>perl -V:make
make='nmake';

C:\Documents and Settings\Surya Prakash>perl -V:cc
cc='cl';

    [download]
    Also, I tried CPAN to install the files and I get the same errors as above (the NMAKE ones).
    Where should I go from here? Thanks, Surya

      1. Answer all my questions (most importantly, why aren't you using PPM!!!!?)
      2. Get a compiler since you don't have one. If you want to continue using the perl binary you currently have, you will have to buy MSVS (aka cl). You can download other compilers for free (gcc,borland), but that means you'll have to recompile perl (no biggie).

       

      You cannot be selective in the advice you follow (especially with so little advice).
