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.

Best regards

    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
    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;
