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

I'm trying to do HTTPS POST in Win32. My search shows that I need LWP::Protocol::https (I used LWP::UserAgent for regular POSTs) and that needs Crypt-SSLeay, but I'm having problem installing this module. Does anyone have this problem???

    On Windows, 
      C:\> ppm install crypt-ssleay

    [download]
    did the trick for me. Can you be more specific about the problem you're having with the installation?

      ppm gives me "Error: PPD for 'Crypt-SSLeay' could not be found" Tried to run makefile after downloading from CPAN: e:\crypt-ssleay-0.07perl Makefile.PL Which SSLeay do you want to link against? don't no how to answer to question. Looked at Makefile.PL, looks like it looking for SSLeay installation DIR.

        Odd. I just tried using PPM for ActiveState 5.8 to install Crypt-SSLeay, and it's gone missing. Perhaps this is a periodic ActiveState repository hiccup.

        Update: The Active State CPAN Build Status page indicates that Crypt::SSLeay is broken. I've seen things like this happen periodically, and am betting it'll be mysteriously resolved soon.
