Hi Monks,

I am using POP3Client to login to email account and Mechanize to get a weblink. Having problems to have them both working.

The functionality in my script using Mechanize works as expected if either IO::SOCKET::SSL or NET::SSLeay is not installed. However, if I install both IO::SOCKET::SSL and NET::SSLeay, then the Mechanize functionality does not work. Since my script also has functionality that uses POP3Client, I need both IO::SOCKET::SSL and NET::SSLeay.

Any suggestions to have both POP3Client and Mechanize working with both IO::SOCKET::SSL and NET::SSLeay installed?

Here are the details from the script. 

    my $pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER  => "user_name",
                    PASSWORD => "password",
                    HOST     => "mail.xxxxx.com",
                    USESSL   => 1,
                    PORT     => 995,
                    DEBUG    => 0,
                  );

    my $num = $pop->Count;
    if($num < 0) {
    print "Error could not connect\n";
    }
    elsif ($num == 0){
    print "================LOGIN SUCESS!\n"; 
    }

    my $url = "http://weblink";                               
    my $m;
    $m = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck=>1);
    $m->proxy('http','http://proxy_server');
    $m->proxy('https', undef);

    $m->credentials( "user_name", "password" );
    $m->get($url);      #<============ DIES HERE

    my $link = $m->find_link( text => "A string" );
    if( !defined( $link ) ) {
    print( "Error accessing $url!\n" );
    die;
    }
