Re: https on OSX 10.3 crypto failure

I'll provide you as much info as I can.. Please excuse my lack of info as ignorance and not indifference.. I'm still a perl newbie. We match in some areas, but not others..

I uninstalled my Crypt module, and went to Cpan to reinstall. I get this during the install:

<br>
/usr/local/lib does not seem to contain the SSLeay library files
Found the following OpenSSL installations:
        OpenSSL 0.9.6   /usr/local/ssl
        OpenSSL 0.9.6   /usr/local
        OpenSSL 0.9.7   /usr
Which OpenSSL build path do you want to link against? [/usr/local/ssl]
[download]

I chose /usr/local/ssl, and then get the following at the end of the script.

/Users/guru/.cpan/build/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51/blib/arch/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/
+SSLeay.bundle undefined reference to _OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms expe

  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

Then, if I rerun with Force, it claims to install cleanly. But I get the error I presented earlier in the code. Ask me for any information and I'll provide it.
Also, I came across this website, but can't tell if it means anything.. many many thanks.. tim

That worked!! The Library! Maybe that was it.. I did: sudo cpan then cpan> install Crypt::SSLeay the Encryption.SSL text document included only says Crypt.SSLeay, not Net::SSLeay. I guess I should have known that? Anyhow, perhaps that was the problem, I was going after the wrong library? Your method of installing the module, being the lamer newbie I am I haven't seen it before, but it appears to be similar to what Cpan does. Is that a correct assumption, and is your way a better way to install modules? Thank you, So much! Tim	[reply]

That worked!! I'm glad it worked for you. I see that your install is looking for OpenSSL under `/usr/local/lib`. Perhaps you could succeed by telling the installer to look under `/usr/lib` instead. The `look` command from the `CPAN` module, allows you to manually look into a distribution. It is useful for complex installations. Indeed, I wanted to take a look at Net::SSLeay since I've never installed it and I assumed you followed the standard recipe. 99% of the time, you can issue the more standard `install` command.

For anyone who runs into the same problem I did.. Loading the below libraries will enable you to load the bottom code.. You'll need LWP also, but that's not shown here. You need to install IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSLeay. Examples of how to install here <credits to fokat above>. `sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell look Net::SSLeay perl Makefile.PL -t make install` [download] Example test code: `#!/usr/bin/perl use LWP::Simple; my $url ='https://www.paypal.com'; #Notice the s in httpS my $content = get $url; print $content;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
